Write the equation of the line using the given information in slope-intercept form.

Through (2, -3) and (4, -7)
 
y = -2x + 1
 
With slope -3 and through (1, -4)
 
y = -3x - 1
 
With slope three-fourths and y-intercept -5
 
y equals three-fourths c minus 5
 
Through (0, 2) and (-3, 4)
 
y equals negative two-thirds x plus 2
