Answer:

[tex]y = \dfrac{3}{5}x + \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope:

m = (change in y) / (change in x) = rise / run

m = (2 - (-1)) / (2 - (-3)) = (2 + 1) / (2 + 3) = 3/5

Then, write the equation of the line in point-slope form:

y - b = m(x - a)  where  (a, b) is a point on the line

y - 2 = (3/5)(x - 2)

Finally, solve for y:

[tex]y = \dfrac{3}{5}(x - 2) + 2[/tex]

[tex]y = \dfrac{3}{5}x - \dfrac{6}{5} + 2[/tex]

[tex]y = \dfrac{3}{5}x + \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
