Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle y = -3x + 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change of the line:

$\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-6 + 3}{-1 + 2} = m \hookrightarrow \frac{-3}{1} = m \\ \\ \boxed{-3 = m}$

_______________________________________________

Now plug all the information into the Slope-Intercept Formula. It does not matter which ordered pair is chosen:

$\displaystyle 3 = -3[2] + b \hookrightarrow 3 = -6 + b; 9 = b \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{y = -3x + 9}} \\ \\ OR \\ \\ 6 = -3[1] + b \hookrightarrow 6 = -3 + b; 9 = b \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{y = -3x + 9}}$
