Answer:I'm not sure but i think it's y=3/-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:First you solve for m using y2-y1 over x2-x1. Then you plug in whichever point to solve for b.

Answer:

3x + 2y = 6

Explanation:

y = mx + c where m is the slope of p and c is the y-intercept of p

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1)  )/(x_(2)-x_(1))=(-3-6)/(4--2)=(-9)/(6)=(-3)/(2)

y = -3/2 x + c

To get c use one of the two points to substitute the x and y in the equation


6=(-3)/(2)(-2)+c

6 = 3 + c

6 - 3 = c

y = -3/2x + 3 Multiply both sides by 2

2y = -3x + 6

2y + 3x = 6

3x + 2y = 6
