The slope intercept form of the equation is given by:
y = mx + c
where
We find the slopes of the given set of points.
The slope of the first set of point is -1
so 3 = (-1)(-1) + c
==> 3 - 1 = c
==> c = 2
Hence, the equation is:
y = -x + 2
thus the solution.

2) The slope of thsi equation is 0
Therefore -3 = (0)(2) + c
==> c = -2
y = -2
is the equation in the slope intercept form.
Thus the solution.
