Answer:

y =-5x-17

Explanation:

Slode-intercept is

y = mx + c

The first step is to find the slope, that is the m

To do that, use this formula

Y2 - y1

------------

X2- x1

And u will get - 5

Now since u got m, u also actually have y and x, those are the coordinates they gave u. U can choose either one,(-3, - 2) or (-4, 3), cuz they would give u the same answrs

So let's say I chose (-4, 3)

So x = - 4, y = 3

y=mx +c

3= - 5(-4) +c

C = - 17

Therefore your end product will be

y = - 5x - 17
