: Can someone help me on this problem?
I need to write the equation of the line passing through each pair of points. I need to write the result in slope-intercept form, where possible.
(-1, 3) and (4, -2)
Thanks,

(-2-3)/(4+1)=-5/5=-1 for the slope
Y=mX+b
now substitute 4 for X & -2 for Y we get
-2=-1(4)+b
-2=-4+b
b=-4+2
b=2
thus y=-x+2
