Answer:
y = -x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x₁,y₁)= (5, - 1) & (x₂,y₂)= (2 , 2)
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2-[-1]}{2-5}\\\\=\frac{2+1}{-3}\\\\=\frac{3}{-3}\\\\= -1[/tex]
m = -1
Equation of the line y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - [-1] = (-1)*(x - 5)
y + 1 = -x + 5 {-1 is distributed}
y = -x + 5 - 1
y = -x + 4
