Question

Find an equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the following points.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form is y = mx+b

slope is change in y over change in x, which is -5-(-3)/(3-1) = -1

y = -x+b

plugging in a point, like (1,-3), we have -3 = -1+b. b = -3+1 = -2

y = -x-2
