Answer:
y = -3/4x + 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have 2 points:
(-3, 4) & (1, 1)
The formula for point-slope is:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
First, we need to find the slope between the points
The formula for this is
(y2 - y1) /(x2 - x1)
1 - 4 / 1 - (-3) ->
-3 / 4
Our slope is -3/4 (m)
y = -3/4 (x + 3) + 4
I've done this using a simplified formula for point slope which is
y = m(x - x1) + y1
we can simplify this equation more
y = -3/4x + 7/4
is our final equation.
