Answer:

y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx + c

m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

m = (y 2 - y 1) / (x 2 - x 1) = (2-4) / ( 2-1) = -2

y= -2x + c

To find c, just sub one of the coordinates into the eqn:

By using the coordinates (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + c

c = 6

Therefore, the equation is y = -2x + 6

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 13$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to find the slope-intercept form (or y = mx + b form) of the equation. m represents the slope, and $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. So, substitute $\frac{3}{2}$ for m, -4 for $x_1$ , and 7 for $y_1$ . Then, simplify and isolate y on the left side like so:
