Step-by-step explanation:

normal line equation

y = ax + b

the 2 given points give us 2 equations with 2 variables a, b.

we solve that for the general line equation.

-5 = a×-4 + b

-2 = a×-3 + b

subtract equation 2 from equation 1

-3 = a×-1 + 0

-3 = -a

a = 3

-2 = 3×-3 + b = -9 + b

b = 7

so, the line equation is

y = 3x + 7
