Answer:

y-intercept: 3

equation: y = -x + 3

Explanation:

For problem #6: (-2,5) and (2,1)

Slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

=>m = (1 - 5)/(2 - -2) = -4/4 = -1

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

Given m = -1, y = 1, x = 2

=> 1 = -1(2) + b

=> 1 = -2 + b

=> b = 1 + 2 = 3

equation: y = -x + 3

since b is the y-intercept => 3
