I forgot how to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (3,-1) (-1,5) can you refresh my memory

Question

anonymous · Answer

use point slope form

anonymous · Answer

then get y on one side of the equation.

anonymous · Answer

is that like mx+b  sorry I haven't been in school in a while and im relearning it all over again

anonymous · Answer

it is y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

anonymous · Answer

this is what it looks like $$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$$
m is slope
y1 is y coordinate
x! is xcoordinate

anonymous · Answer

us your 2 points to find the slope a substitute one of the points into the formula and get y on one side of the equation

anonymous · Answer

im confussed how would I do that with (3,-1) (-1,5)

anonymous · Answer

use slope formula
substitute into the formula I gave you
take one of the points
substitute into the formula

2y=-3x+7 is very close. You just need to get that into y = mx+b form

anonymous · Answer

ok thanks
