1. Answer:

   x1 = 2

   x2 = 3

   y1=5

   y2 = 3

   m = (y2 – y1)/(x2-x1)

   m = (3-5) / (3-2)

   m= -2/1

   m = -2

   Next find the value of c

   y = mx + c

   5 = (-2*2)+c

   5 = -4 + c

   C = 9

   then when y=1

   y = mx + c

   1 = -2x + 9

   -2x = -8

   x = -8 / -2

   x=4

   So k =4

   done!

   Hope this Helps!
