Answer:

The second one: y = -3/2x + 1

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

( -2, 4 ) : ( 2, -2 )

Slope =
(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

Slope =
(-2-4)/(2 - ( -2)) =(-6)/(4) = - (3)/(2)

y =
-(3)/(2)x + 1 ( + 1 is the y-intercept, where the graph intercepts the y axis... )

Answer:

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

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(-2-4)/(2-(-2)) =
(-6)/(2+2) =
(-6)/(4) = -
(3)/(2)

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 1 ) ⇒ c = 1

y = -
(3)/(2) x + 1 ← equation of line
