Answer:

y = -5/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a point and a slope, we use slope-intercept formula:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m = slope  point: (-2,1)

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 1 = -5/2 (x - (-2))

y -1 = -5/2x - 5

 + 1          + 1

y = -5/2x - 4

To check our answer, I attached the graph.

Hope this helps!
