To solve this problem, we first have to find the slope of the two given points. To find the slope, we have to use slope intercept form, which is y₂ - y₁ divided by x₂ - x₁. We substitute each variable for its corresponding value, and we'll get -2 - (-3) divided by 4-1. If we simplify the expression, we'll get 1/3. Next, we plug in the slope and one ordered pair into the equation and we get -3 = 1/3 * 1 + b. We should solve for b and we end up with -3 1/3 = b. Therefore, the equation is y = 1/3x - 3 1/3.
