Answer:
(-7-2)=-3(-3-0)

Explanation:

First use slope intercept form to find the value of b (the y intercept). The slope intercept formula is


y=mx+b

Since we are given the point (-3,2), we can say that y=2 and x=-3. m=-3. Then we get


2=-3(-3)+b


2=9+b


b=-7

Since we now have the y intercept, we can convert it to a point: (0,-7). Plug this into the point slope equation:


(y_(1)-y_(2))=m(x_(1)-x_(2))

Our first point is (-3,2). Our second point is (0,-7). Therefore:


x_(1)=-3\\y_(1)=2\\x_(2)=0\\y_(2)=-7\\m=-3

Plugging into the equation, we get


(-7-2)=-3(-3-0)
