In a slope-intercept form, m stands for the slope, and b for the y-intercept. Given the coordinates of two points on the line, use the slope formula to determine the slope of the line. The slope formula is the quotient of the difference in y-values and the difference in x-values. The point where a graph crosses the y-axis is known as the y-intercept.

Answer:

Y = (-2/3)x +7

Explanation:

First we have to find the slope (m):

the equation for that is


m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(0, 7) (3, 5)

(x1, y1) (x2, y2)

plug it in


(5-7)/(3-0) =(-2)/(3)

now that we have m we plug in what we have:


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

to find b we pick any of the two points, I will pick (0,7), and we substitute that point into our equation:


7= (-2)/(3)*0+b

now we solve for b

b=7

now we plug it all in:


y= (-2)/(3)x +7

hope that helps :)
