Answer:

y = - 2x - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3)

m =
(-3-5)/(2+2) =
(-8)/(4) = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 1) ⇒ c = - 1

y = - 2x - 1 ← equation of line
