Answer:

y=-3x+13

Explanation:

step one you will need to find the slope by the Y2 minus y1 all over x2 minus X1 formula. so you would have -2 - 4 all over 5 - 3 . you will get -6 over 2 which is equal to -3 . that means that -3 is the slope .

Step 2 you can find the equation with the point slope form formula . the point slope form formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). by substituting your values into these equation you can find the equation of this line . you can substitute any point into it as long as it is on the line . let's use (3,4) where 3=x1 and 4=y1.

step 3. simplify. you will get y-4=-3(x-3). keep in mind I substituted -3 into the equation because -3 is the slope.

you can simplify this if you want to . you will get y=-3(x-3)+4. it becomes through foiling, y=-3x+9+4. it simplifies to y=-3x+13.
