Answer:

  y = 2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first point tells the y-intercept of the line, -5, the value of y when x=0.

The slope is ...

  (change in y)/(change in x) = (3 -(-5))/(4 -0) = 8/4 = 2

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...

  y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)

Filling in slope=2 and y-intercept = -5, the equation is ...

  y = 2x -5
