Answer:

y = -4x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope (denoted by the variable, <em>m</em>). Use the following equation:

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Let:

(x_1, y_1) = (4 , -3)\\(x_2, y_2) = (3 , 1)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - (-3)}{3 - 4} = \frac{1 + 3}{-1}   = \frac{4}{-1} = -4

Use the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Use one of the given points to plug in for (x ,y). Also note that the slope (m) is equal to -4. Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

y = mx + b\\(x , y) = (3 , 1)\\m = -4\\\\\\1 = (-4 * 3) + b\\1 = (-12) + b\\1 (+12) = b - 12 (+12)\\b = 1 + 12\\b = 13

Plug in the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) to get your equation:

y = -4x + 13

Answer:

y=-4x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

slope =

1--3/3-4

4/-1

-4/1

y-1=-4(x-3)

y-1=-4x+12

y=-4x+13
