Answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

Okay, this is a fairly simple question.

First, you want to pick two pairs of coordinates (X,Y).

In this case, I chose (-3, 5) and (3, 1)

Now, you want to use the formula to find slope : y2-y1/x2-x1

1-5/3-(-3)

-4 divided by 6

=-2/3

Answer:

y = -2/3x + 3 pic below to show proof i hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

looking at the photo this slope is negative

we can see 2 given points (0,3) and (3,1)

y = +/- ?/?x +/- ?

from the point (0,3) we move down 2

y = -2/? x + ?

from the point that was moved down 2, we move over 3 to get to (3,1) y = -2/3x + ?

the line crosses the 3 on the y-axis

y = -2/3x + 3
