Answer:

y=-3x+9

Explanation:

The slope of the line through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found by using the formula below. Don't forget slope is rise over run: subtract the y-values in the numerator to get the rise and subtract the x-values in the denominator (in the same order!) to get the run. Once you know the slope (m), you're halfway there. Now all that's left to find is the y-intercept (b). To find the y-intercept, choose one of the points on the line. It does not matter which point you choose (just pick the one that looks easiest to you). Plug in the values for x and y into the equation and solve for b.
