Answer:

Equation is y = 4x + 4

Explanation:

• General equation of a line:


{ \rm{y = mx + c}} \\

• m is the slope


{ \tt{m = (y _(2) - y _(1) )/(x _(2) - x _(1) ) }} \\ \\ { \tt{m = (5 - ( - 3))/( - 1 - ( - 3)) }} \\ \\ { \tt{m = (8)/(2) }} \\ \\ { \underline{ \tt{ \: \: m = 4 \: \: }}}

• c is the y-intercept.

→ substitute:


{ \rm{y = 4x + 4}}
