Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

    We can use change in y over change in x to find slope:

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{-8--3}{2-1} =\frac{-8+3}{1} =-5$

So, our slope (aka m) is -5.

    For our b, or the y-intercept, we will need to find what value y is when x is 0. To do this, we will plug in a point for what we have so far, and then solve for b

y = -5x + b

-8 = -5(2) + b

-8 = -10 + b

2 = b

    And there is our equation,

y = -5 + 2

Have a nice day!
