Write the equation of the line passing through each of the given pairs of points. Write your result in slope-intercept form, where possible.
(-1,3)and (4,-2)
In order to write the equation of a line, we need a point and a slope. We have two points and no slope, therefore we need to find the slope between these two points.
We can find the slope between two points using the slope formula: , where m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two given points.
(x1,y1)=(-1,3) and (x2,y2)=(4,-2)

Now we have a slope and a point, so we can use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line:, where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a given point.
m=-1 and (x1,y1)=(-1,3)

Happy Calculating!!!!
