Answer:
y = 3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so first we do the equation for rise over run which is y2 – y1/ x2 – x1
so plug the numbers 11 – 17/ 4 – 2 getting the slope -3, now since we found the slope we need to find the intercept form, what you have to do now is plug in a coordinate from the x value and y value one of the pairs essentially so,
y = 3x + b, I chose your first pair
11 = 3 x 2 + b
equals to,
11 = 6 + b
now we want b, by itself.
5 = b
so the total intercept form answer is
y = 3x + 5
I will check over it,
11 = 3 x 2 + 5
11 = 11
I hope this helped!
