The slope :       m    =                            y          2                -                  y          1                                      x          2                -                  x          1                      =                  4        +        1                    -        3        -        2              =          5              -        5              =    -    1  The equation of line in slope-intercept form is       y    =    m    x    +    c                or              y    =    -    x    +    c  The point (2,-1) is on the line. So it will satisfy the equation       ∴          (      -      1      )        =          (      -      1      )        ⋅    2    +    c                or              c    =    -    1    +    2    =    1   As a result, the line&#039;s equation in slope intercept form is       y    =    -    x    +    1
