Answer:

The equation of the line is:

y=-x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-3, 8)
  • (4, 1)

Finding the slope between the points

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1-8}{4-\left(-3\right)}

m=-1

Using the point-slope form of the line equation

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where m is the slope

substituting the values m = -1 and the point (-3, 8)

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-8=-1\cdot \left(x-\left(-3\right)\right)

y-8=-\left(x+3\right)

Add 8 to both sides

y-8+8=-\left(x+3\right)+8

y=-x+5

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y=-x+5
