We can use the points (0, -3) and (6, 0) to solve.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b (m = slope and b = y-intercept)

First, find the slope.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 0-(-3)/6-0

= 3/6

= 1/2

Second, find the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

y = 1/2 + b

-3 = 1/2(0) + b

-3 = b

Third, put into final form.

y = 1/2x - 3

Best of Luck!

Answer:

y = 0.5x - 3

Explanation:

Using (6,0) and (0,-3)

y- intercept is clearly -3

Slope: (-3-0)/(0-6) = -3/-6 = 0.5

y = 0.5x - 3
