Answer:

y=2x-13

Explanation:

Use the formula
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


(-7-(-1))/(3-6)

Solve


(-6)/(-3)

A negative multiplied or divided by a negative is a positive


(6)/(3)

Simplify


(2)/(1) = 2

The slope is 2

y = 2x + b

Graph the two points

It passes through -13


y = 2x-13

Answer:

y=6/3x-13

Explanation:

We must find the slope first:

(-1-(-7))/(6-3)=6/3

(Rise over Run: (y2-y1/x2-x1)

6/3

To find the Y-intercept (b), plug the slope and one point into y=mx+b form:

-7=6/3(3)+b

b=-13

Therefore:

y=6/3x-13
