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) (4,-2)
In order to find the equation of a line, you need a point and a slope. You don't have a slope, but you can find the slope between the two points using the point slope formula: , where m=slope and (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(-1,3) and (x2,y2)=(4,-2)

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

Slope-intercept form is , where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept. Solve the equation for y.

Happy Calculating!!!
