Question

PLZ HELP MEEEEE!!!!! IN TEST

Use point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), to find the linear equation of a line that
passes through the points (3, -1) and (1, 1).

Answer 1

y=-1·x+2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Plug it in.

y = -1, y1 = 1

x = 3, x1 = 1

-1 - 1 = m( 3 - 1)

-2 = 2m

m = -1

The slope is -1

y = -x +b

-1 = -3 +b

b = 2

The equation is y = -x + 2

Hope this helps.
