Hey there! :D


Plug it into point slope form.


y-y1= m(x-x1)


We need to find m first.


m= y2-y1/x2-x1


3-1/0-1=


2/-1= -2


y-1= -2(x+1)


Distribute.


y-1=-2x-2


Add 1 to both sides.


y=2x-1 <== rule for function


So you can plug any number for x, to find y. Therefore, that is the rule.


I hope this helps!
