FIND THE SLOPE

Slope, m, is negative one.

FORMULATE THE EQUATION CONTAINING THE TWO POINTS

Various ways to do this, but here is using slope-intercept form.

Take either given point. Here is using (3,-1).

Equation is

AXIS INTERCEPTS

Just found the y-intercept done above, (0,2), the y-intercept.
When y=0,
0=-x+2
x=2, yes, the same value as the y intercept.
x-intercept is (2,0)
