Answer: y = -1x + 2

Explanation:

Points ( -3,5 )( 6,-4 )

You use the slope formula to find the slope.

Note: You'll need to learn the slope formula to make more sense of it, I suggest watching a video about it.

M = Y2 - Y1 over

X2 - X1

Which is -4 - 5

6 - -3 = -9/9 = -1

The slope is -1

Now to find the y-intercept we use one of the x,y points ( I'll use 6,-4 )

And plug them in

-4 = -1(6) + b

-4 = -6 + b

+6 +6

2 = b

The equation will be y = -1x + 2
