\

The line equation in slope-intercept form is $\"\"$ , where m is

\

the slope and b is the y-intercept.

\

First find the slope of the line.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ 1 for x₁, 3 for y₁, 2 for x₂ and $\"\"$ 3 for y₂)

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Next find the y-intercept value by replacing m with $\"\"$ 2, y with 3 and x with $\"\"$ 1

\

in the equation $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 2 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse proeprty: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

Replace m with –2 and b with 1 in the slope-intercept form line equation

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

The slope-intercept form line equation is $\"\"$ .
