Answer:

y=-5x+6

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses over the y-axis. In this case, there is a point on 6, which means 6 is our y-intercept.

Next, we need to calculate the slope. We know slope = rise/run.

Start at the point -9,3. We rise 5 and go left 1 to get to the point -4,2.

Since we went left, our slope is 5/-1, which simplifies to -5.

Our final answer, written in slope intercept form, is y=-5x+6
