answer : y = 4/5x - 22/5

y = mx + b

get m or slope (aka "rate" or "speed")

(fun fact : see how the graph is a straight line? a lot of calculus is trying to get the rate or speed or slope of a curved graph)

(-3,-6) (2,-2)

(y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

-2 + 6/2 + 3

m = 4/5

(if you make the 2 points a triangle bottom is 5 and the right side is 4)

line formula

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y + 6 = 4/5 ( x + 2 )

y = 4/5x + 8/5 - 6

y = 4/5x + 8/5 - 30/5

y = 4/5x - 22/5

side note : since the graph doesnt go thru (0,0) the graph is NOT PROPORTIONAL
