Answer:

y = 3/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line

Step 1: find slope

( 2 , -2) ( 4 , 1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = -2

x_2 = 4

y_2 = 1

Insert the values into

m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

m = ( 1 - (-2) / (4 - 2)

= ( 1 + 2) / ( 4 -2 )

= 3 / 2

m = 3/2

Step 2: substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = 3/2x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick (4 , 1)

x = 4

y = 1

y = 3/2x + c

1 = 3/2(4) + c

1 = 3*4/2 + c

1 = 12/2 + c

1 = 6 + c

1 - 6 = c

c = 1 - 6

c = -5

Step 4 : substitute c into the equation

y = 3/2x + c

y = 3/2x - 5

The equation of the line is

y = 3/2x - 5
