Answer:
y= -2x+7
Here,
Two points given: (3,1) and (7,-7)
[tex]slope(m) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 7 - 1}{7 - 3} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 8}{4} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = - 2 \\ [/tex]
Equation of line is y= Mx+b
y= -2x +b
It passes through (3,1)
[tex]1 = - 2(3) + b \\ 1 = - 6 + b \\ - b = - 6 - 1 \\ - b = - 7 \\ b = 7[/tex]
Equation of line:
y= -2x+7
Hope this helps..
Good luck on your assignment..
