Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We want it in the form y = mx + b. First plug it into the equation [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex] and get -9/6. This can be simplified to -3/2, so now we have the slope. y = -3/2x + b. To find b plug in one of those points. I chose (2,-1). Now we have

-1 = -3/2(2) +b. Solve this and get 2 = b. We can now make our full equation.

y = -3/2x + 2
