Equation of the line in slope intercept form is #y= -x+1#

Explanation:

The slope :#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (4+1)/(-3-2)=5/(-5)= -1#
The equation of line in slope-intercept form is #y=mx+c or y = -x+c#
The point (2,-1) is on the line. So it will satisfy the equation #:.(-1) = (-1)*2+c or c=-1 +2=1# Hence the equation of the line in slope intercept form is #y= -x+1# graph{-x+1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}[Ans]
