slope-intercept form:

y= mx+b

Where:

m= slope

b= y-intercept

Apply the slope formula:


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

Use two coordinate points from the table:

Point 1 = (x1,y1) = (-3,-4)

Point 2 = (x2,y2) = (0,-3)

Replacing:


m=(-3-(-4))/(0-(-3))=(-3+4)/(0+3)=(1)/(3)

slope = 1/3

The y-intercept is the coordinate point where x=0 (0,-3)

b= -3

Final equation:

y= 1/3x -3
