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's equation in slope intercept form is y = - x + 1
