Answer:

y = 3/4x +1/4

Explanation:

Counting grid squares between the marked points, we find the point on the right is 6 units up and 8 units right of the one on the left. That means the slope of the line is ...

m = rise/run = 6/8 = 3/4

The y-intercept can be found from the slope and one of the points. The coordinates of the point on the left are (x, y) = (-3, -2), so we have ...

b = y -mx

b = -2 -(3/4)(-3) = -2 +9/4 = 1/4

Then the equation of the line is ...

y = mx +b

y = 3/4x +1/4
