Answer:
y-1 =( -5/3) (x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope equation for a line is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point
We need to determine the slope
The formula for slope is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points
m = (1-6)/(1--2)
= (1-6)/(1+2)
=-5/3
The slope is -5/3
Now we can substitute the slope into the equation for a line. We can use either point. I will use (1,1)
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-1 =( -5/3) (x-1)
