Answer! :

y = -2x + 5

Step by Step! :

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m being slope, b being the y intercept.

To find the slope, use this equation:

y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

Plug in your points.

(-1) - (7) / (3) - (-1)

-8 / 4

-2 is your slope! (y = -2x + b)

To solve for b, plug in any one of your points and solve for b. Let's use (3, -1)

-1 = -2(3) + b

-1 = -6 + b

5 = b

Your new equation is...

y = -2x + 5
