Answer: y=-x+7

Explanation:

Answer:

Your given points: (9,-2)and (1,6)

x1=9

y1=-2

x2=1

y2=6

Explanation:

To find slope take the points you got from graph and put it into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1

6-(-2)/1-9=6+2/1-9=8/-8=-1

SLOPE IS m=-1

Then take that slope u got and plug into this equation to find equation of the line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=-1(x-9)

y+2=-x+9

-2. -2
