Sagot :

Answer:

y=-3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1

7-1/1-3

simplify

6/-2

simplify

-3

now plug -3 into y=mx+b

y=-3(x)+b

choose any point and plug it into the equation, I am using (3,1)

1=-3(3)+b

simplify

1=-9+b

add 9 to both sides

b=10

plug into slope-intercept form

y=-3x+10
