Question

Passes through (9, 0) and (0, -3).

do you mind explaining with the answer so that i’ll understand it and be able to continue without being confused? thank you! :)

Answer 1

Answer: y = (1/3)x - 3

Explanation:

It passes through -3 at 0, so we know the y = mx + b form will include -3

Next, we want to find the slope:

Change in y = 0 - -3 = 3

Change in x = 9 - 0 = 9

Change in y / Change in x = slope

3/9 = 1/3
