We have points (-3, 4), (-1, 2), (4, -3) and (6,-5)
Let's verify it's a line by calculating the slopes between successive points.
Slope is change in y over change in x.
(2 - 4)/(-1 - -3) = -2/2 = -1
(-3 - 2)/(4 - -1) = -5/5 = -1
(-5 - -3)/(6 - 4) = -2/2 =-1
Yup. We have a line of slope -1 through point (-1, 2)
y - 2 = -1(x - -1)
y = -x - 1 + 2
y = -x + 1
That's the linear equation for the table.
Answer: Linear equation: y = -x + 1 slope = -1
