Answer:

y= -2/3x-3, (Word Form: Y equals negative 2 over 3x minus 3.)

Explanation:

The formula for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. m=Slope. b=y-intercept. Therefore the equation would be y= -2/3x-3

Answer:


y=-(2x)/(3)+3

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

if you a have the slope and a point of the line , it is possible to find the equation using:


y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1) )

where, m is the slope, (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the known point

Step 1

Let


P1(9,-3)\\slope=-(2)/(3)

replacing


y-(-3)=-(2)/(3)(x-9 )\\y+3=-(2x)/(3)+(18)/(3)\\isolating\ y \\y=-(2x)/(3)+6-3\\y=-(2x)/(3)+3\\

Have a good day.
