Answer:

y = -(5/6)x + 0.917

Explanation:

We can calculate a slope with the two given points:

(-2.5,3) and (3.5,-2)

Rise (change in y) = -2 - (3) = -5

Run (change in x) = 3.5 - (-2.5) = 6.0

Slope = Rise/Run = -5/6

The line has the following form:

y = -(5/6)x + b

We can find b, the y-intercept, by using one of the two points in the equation and then solve for b. I'll choose (-2.5,3):

y = -(5/6)x + b

3 = -(5/6)*(-2.5) + b

3 = 2.083 + b

b = 0.917

y = -(5/6)x + 0.917
