Answer:
y= -2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
slope- intercept form:
y= mx +c, where m us the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Let's find the value of m first using the gradient formula.
Gradient= [tex] \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{ - 3 - 3}{2 - ( - 1)} \\ m = \frac{ - 6}{2 + 1} \\ m = \frac{ - 6}{3} \\ m = - 2[/tex]
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= -1, y=3,
3= -2(-1) +c
3= 2 +c
c= 3 -2
c= 1
Thus the equation of the line is y= -2x +1.
