Answer:

y = -1/3x +1

Explanation:

You want the slope-intercept form equation of the line through the points (-3, 2) and (-9, 4).

Slope

The slope is given by the formula ...

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

m = (4 -2)/(-9 -(-3)) = 2/-6 = -1/3

Y-intercept

The y-intercept is given by the formula ...

b = y1 -m(x1)

b = 2 - (-1/3)(-3) = 1

Slope-intercept equation

The slope-intercept equation of the line is ...

y = mx +b

y = -1/3x +1
