Answer:

y = -6/7x -10/7.

Explanation:

The 2 points marked are (-4, 2) and (3, -4)

So the slope of the line = (2 - (-4))/(-4-3)

= -6/7

Using the point-slope form of a line

y - y1 = m(x - x1), we have:

y - 2 = -6/7(x - (-4))

y - 2 = -6/7(x + 4)

y - 2 = -6/7x - 24/7

y = -6/7 x - 24/7 + 2

y = -6/7 x - 24/7 + 14/7

y = -6/7x -10/7
