Answer:

y = 3/2x + 2.5

Explanation:

Use this formula to find the slope. y2-y2/x2-x1

Plug in

1-4/-1-1= -3/-2 = 3/2

So the slope is 3/2

To find the y-intercept use one of the points you were given. (1,4)

Plug in (1,4)

4 = 3/2(1) + b (b is the y-intercept)

4 = 3/2 + b (minus 3/2 on both sides)

2.5 = b or 5/2 = b

y = 3/2x + 2.5
