The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, 47) and (2, -16). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-16-47}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{-63}{6}=-\dfrac{63:3}{6:3}=-\dfrac{21}{2}

Therefore we have:

y=-\dfrac{21}{2}x+b

Put the coordinates of the point (2, -16) to the equation:

-16=-\dfrac{21}{2}(2)+b\\\\-16=-21+b\qquad\text{add 21 from both sides}\\\\5=b\to b=5

Answer: \boxed{y=-\dfrac{21}{2}x+5}
