Answer:
y = -1/2x +7/2
Explanation:
First we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (5-3)/(-3-1)
= 2 /-4
= -1/2
We can use the slope intercept form
y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -1/2 x+b
Substitute the point int
3 = -1/2 (1) +b
3 = -1/2 +b
Add 1/2 to each side
62 + 1/2 = b
b = 7/2
y = -1/2x +7/2
