Answer:
m = - 1 and b = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope= intercept form is
y = mx + b (m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
here slope m = - 1 , then
y = - x + b ← is the partial equation
to find b substitute (- 3, - 1 ) into the partial equation
- 1 = 3 + b ⇒ b = - 1 - 3 = - 4
y = - x - 4 ← equation of line
with m = - 1 and b = - 4
