Answer:
y = - x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 8)
m = =
= -
, then
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (6, - 8) , then
- 8 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = - 8 + 10 = 2
y = - x + 2 ← equation of line
