Answer: y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line , we will use the formula:

\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}} = \frac{y-y_{1}}{x - x_{1}}

From the question

x_{1} = 1

x_{2} = 3

y_{1} = 6

y_{2} = 2

substituting into the formula , we have

\frac{2 - 6}{3 - 1} = \frac{y - 6}{x - 1}

\frac{-4}{2} = \frac{y - 6}{x - 1}

cross multiplying , we have

2(y-6) = -4(x-1)

Expanding , we have

2y - 12 = -4x + 4

Adding 12 to both sides , we have

2y = -4x + 16

dividing through by 2 , we have

y = -2x + 8

Therefore , the equation of the line is given as

y = -2x + 8
