Answer:

y = 1/3x − 2

Formula:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Hope this helped. Happy new year! :)

Answer:

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

Explanation:

[Slope-Intercept Form] y = mx + b

-> m is the slope

-> b is the y-intercept

[Slope] Change in y divided by change in x


(0-1)/(6-9) =(-1)/(-3) =(1)/(3)

[Y-Intercept] Where the line hits the y-axis

-> Plug in our slope & a point, and solve for b

y =
(1)/(3)x + b

1 =
(1)/(3)(9) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
