Write the equation in slope-intercept form that passes through (-1,-7) and (1,3)

y= -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two points you get the slope: -2

Using the slope and one of the given points, you can find out the y-intercept, which is 5  

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
