Answer:
y = (3/2)x + 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from the point (-3, 1) to the point (3, -3), x increases by 6 and y decreases by 4. Thus, the slope is
m = rise / run = 6/4 = 3/2.
Subbing the knowns into the general point-slope form of the equation of a straight line, we get
y - 1 = (3/2)(x - [-3]), or y - 1 = (3/2)(x + 3).
This is equivalent to y = (3/2)x + 9/2 + 1, or y = (3/2)x + 11/2.
