Answer

y = -x + 3

Work Step by Step

First find the slope using the two given points. To find the slope use the slope definition. m = $\frac{6-2}{-3-1}$ = -1 Use the point slope form equation of the line to find the equation of the line. Note that you can plug in either point on the point-slope-form equation. y - 2 = -1(x-1) Simplify: -x+3
