Find the slope of the line first using [tex] \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
(3, 4), (2, -1)
[tex] \frac{-1 - 4}{2 - 3} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{-5}{-1} [/tex] = 5
Now use y - y1 = m(x - x1) to make an equation in slope-intercept form. Plug the numbers into the formula.
y - (-1) = 5(x - 2)
y + 1 = 5x - 10
y = 5x - 11
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form would be y = 5x - 11.
