Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 1

Explanation:

You first find the slope:

(2 - (-1))/(3 - (-6)) =

3/9 =

1/3

This means the equation of the line is y = (1/3)x + b, where b is a real number.

Plug in either of the points to find the value of b:

-1 = (1/3)(-6) + b -->

-1 = -2 +b -->

1 = b

This means the equation is y = (1/3)x + 1
