First let's find the slope
Slope formula: 
\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =slope
Given the two coordinates: 
(-4,-7) (3,2) 
 x1,y1  x2,y2

Plug these numbers into the formula
\frac{2-(-7)}{3-(-4)} = \frac{9}{7}
In this case the mistake that was made was that the student wrote the slope negative instead of positive
Final answer: 
<span>y-2=9/7(x-3)</span>
