Use the slope formula
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope. This will be the m in y=mx+b. The b will be your y intercept. Find this by substituting your coordinates for x and y of your now y=mx+b. If you are looking for the answer rather than how to do it, it is y=-
(2)/(3)x+
(1)/(3). This is by my math. Try it yourself.
