Answer:

y=-3x+1

Explanation:

1) the slope-interception form is: y=slope*x+intercept;

2) if A(0;1) and B(2;-5) then it is possible to make up the equation of the required line:


(x-X_A)/(X_B-X_A) =(y-Y_A)/(Y_B-Y_A); \ => \ (x)/(2)=(y-1)/(-6);

3) the equation in the item 2 can be written in slope-interception form:

x=(y-1)/(-3); โ‡” y-1= -3x; โ‡” y= -3x+1.

P.S. note, the suggested way of solution is not the shortest one.
