Answer:
y = (5/2)x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll look for an equation in the format y = mx + b, where mn is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
y = mx + b
m is (5/2)
y = (5/2)x + b
We need a value of b that will force the line through point (-2,-1). Enter the point (-2,-1) in the equation and solve for b:
y = (5/2)x + b
-1 = (5/2)(-2) + b
-1 = -5 + b
b = 4
The equation is y = (5/2)x + 4
