Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first use the slope formula with the two point to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5 - -1)/(-1 - 3)

m = 6/-4

m = -3/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = -3/2(x - 3)

y + 1 = -3/2x + 9/2

y = -3/2x + 7/2
