To find the slope-intercept form

--> we need to find the slope

--> we need to find the y-intercept

The point at which the x-coordinate equals zero

Let's find the slope

--> let's pick any two pair of points

(0, -3) & (6, 0)

(x1, y1) ==> (0, -3)

(x2, y2) ==> (6, 0)

--> our slope formula is:


\text{Slope}=(0--3)/(6-0)=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)

Let's find our y-intercept

--> based on the definition, '-3' is our y-intercept

Let's plug in our slope & y-intercept in the slope-intercept form:


y=(1)/(2)x-3 <== Answer
