Answer:

y= -2x + 1

Explanation:

slope-intercept form y2-y1/x2-x1

-5-5/3-(-2) = -10/5 = -2 = m

y=mx+b is the equation you are trying to find.

plug m value into equation

y = -2x + b

plug one of the points into the equation to find b

5 = -2(-2) + b

5 = 4 + b

subtract 4 from both sides

1 = b

plug back into equation

final line equation is: y = -2x + 1
