Answer:

y = 1/3x + 4

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula:
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Step 1: Find slope m

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

m = -1/(-6 + 3)

m = -1/-3

m = 1/3

y = 1/3x + b

Step 2: Find y-intercept b (plug in coordinates)

3 = 1/3(-3) + b

3 = -1 + b

b = 4

Step 3: Rewrite linear equation

y = 1/3x + 4
