Answer:

Y= -4X-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Y - Y1 = M (X - X1)

Y1= -3 X1= -2

M= -4

Y--3 = -4(X--2)

Y+3 = -4(X+2)

Y+3= -4X-8

Y= -4X-8-3

Y= -4X-11

Answer:

y = -4x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) are points given and "m" is slope

Solve:

y -(-3) = -4(x-(-2))

y + 3 = -4(x+2)

y = -4x -8 -3

y = -4x - 11 ....equation in slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ]
