Answer:

y = 17/3x - 26

Explanation:

Remember the slope formula:


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


m = (-9-8)/(3-6)\\\\m = (-17)/(3)\\\\m = (17)/(3)

Slope: 17 / 3

First part of equation: y = 17/3x + b

To find b, plug in the values from the points we know:


-9 = (17)/(3) * 3 + b\\-9=17+b\\b+17=-9\\b=-26\\

Therefore, the Y-intercept is -26

Combining all the parts, the answer is y = 17/3x - 26
