Question

write the equation of this line in slope - intercept form.
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

Points: $(0,1)$ (y-intercept) and $(1,-2)$

Step2: Calculate slope

Slope $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-2 - 1}{1 - 0} = -3$

Step3: Write slope-intercept form

$y = mx + b$ where $m=-3$, $b=1$ → $y=-3x+1$

Answer:

$y = -3x + 1$
