Answer:

y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of an equation is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of a line that passes through the points (x_1,\: y_1) and (x_2, \: y_2) is m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Using the coordinates (2, -1) and -4,11) as given in the problem, we have slope of this line to be:

m=\frac{11-(-1)}{-4-2}=\frac{12}{-6}=-2.

Now using this slope we've found and any point the line passes through, we can find the y-intercept of this equation:

-1=-2(2)+b, \\ b=3

Therefore, the equation of this line in slope-intercept form is \fbox{$y=-2x+3$}.
