<h3><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></h3>
  • Calculate the slope with two given coordinate points by using rise over run.

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

Let these points

\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4,  - 1) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 2,  8) \end{cases}

m =  \frac{8 - ( - 1)}{2 - ( - 4)}  \\ m =  \frac{8 + 1}{2 + 4}  \Longrightarrow \frac{9}{6}  \Longrightarrow \frac{3}{2}  \\ m =  \frac{3}{2}

  • Slope-Intercept

y = mx + b \\ m = slope \\ b = y - intercept

Substitute the value of m in the equation.

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + b

  • Substitute any coordinate points that are given or part of the graph in the equation.

(x_, y) = ( - 4,  - 1)

- 1 =  \frac{3}{2} ( - 4) + b

  • Solve the equation for b-term.

- 1 =  \frac{3}{ \cancel{2}} ( \cancel{ - 4})   + b\\  - 1 = 3( - 2) + b \\  - 1 =  - 6 + b \\  - 1 + 6 = b \\ 5 = b

  • Rewrite the equation by substituting the value of b in the equation.

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 5

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

\large \boxed{y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 5}
