Answer:

y=4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to solve for slope using the equation:

y2-y1/x2-x1

It doesn't matter what point is 1 or what point is 2. Lets just say that (-2,-7) is point 1, and (-1,-3) is point 2.

(-3)-(-7)/(-1)-(-2)=-4/-1=4

Next you find the y-intercept. To do this you can plug in plug in everything we know into the equation: y=mx+b, and solve for b.

(Lets use point one)

-7=4(-2)+b

-7=--8+b

1=b

Last we can put it all together.

y=4x+1
