find the equation of a line passing through the points (-3,6) and (1,2)
------------
To find the slope, we use the change in y over change in x formula. = = (-1)
Plug that into the slope-intercept formula: We can just write this as
Pick one of the points (it doesn't really matter) and plug that into the formula. I want to use (1,2).

So now the formula looks like
We can plot this formula to make sure that the points are on the graph.
