Answer:
[tex]y= \frac{3}{2}x+\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope: [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{-3 - (3)}{-5-(-1)} = \frac{-6}{-4} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Next use the point-slope fomula and one of the points to find the line:
[tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex] and the ordered pair (-1,3)
[tex]y-3=\frac{3}{2}(x-(-1))\\ y-3 = \frac{3}{2}(x+1)\\y-3=\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{3}{2}\\y=\frac{3}{2}x +\frac{3}{2}+3\\y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{9}{2}[/tex]
