I have to have answer in slope intercept form.
Data:
1991 - 5.68
1993 - 5.04
1996 - 4.32
2000 - 3.39
2005 - 2.18
Instructions say use valuesfrom year 2005 and 1991 to find the equation of the trend line that models the data and answer in point slope form

I'm baffled. I started by subtracting 2.18-5.68/2005-1991 = .25 as slope

It's what I do from there to get the correct slope intercept form that I need help.

Instructions say write in slope intercept form not point slope form as I wrote above.
