Question

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

y — yı = m(x – xı) equation of a line

Points A(1,3) and B(2,1)

Slope (m) = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

(1 –3) / (2 – 1)

–2/1

–2

Thus, y –3 = –2 (x – 1)

y – 3 = –2x + 2

y –3 + 3 = –2x + 2 + 3

y = –2x + 5
