Answer

y=x+1 is the equation of the line.

Steps

Step 1 :We are given that the line passes through the point (-2,3) and has an x-intercept of 1. This means the line also passes through the point (1,0).

Step 2 :We can find the slope of the line using the formula m=y2y1x2x1. Substituting the given points into this formula, we get m=031(2)=1.0.

Step 3 :Next, we use the point-slope form of the line equation, which is yy1=m(xx1). Substituting the point (-2,3) and the slope -1.0 into this formula, we get y3=1.0(x(2)).

Step 4 :Solving this equation for y, we get y=1.0x+1.0.

Step 5 :Finally, we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. Substituting the slope -1.0 and the y-intercept 1.0 into this formula, we get y=1.0x+1.0.

Step 6 :y=x+1 is the equation of the line.
