Answer:

The numbers to insert are 3 and 1 as the equation of the line is y = 1/3 x + 1.

Explanation:

First we find the slope of the line.

Note that the line passes through the points (0,1) and (-3,0)

The slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points on the line.

So the slope of our line = (0 - 1) / (-3 - 0)

= -1/-3

= 1/3

Now the y-intercept ( that is the point where the line passes through the y-axis) is at y = 1.

So using the slope-intercept form of a straight line:

y = mx + c where m = slope and c = y-intercept.

We plug in m = 1/3 and c = 1 to give the answer:

y = (1/3)x + 1.
