Question

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the given points:

(9, -8) and (-6, -3)

Answer 1

The answer is y= -1/3x-5

Explanation:

(9, -8) and (-6, -3)

m= y²-y¹/x²-x1

m= (-3)-(-8)/(-6)-9

m= 5/-15

m=-1/3

y=mx+b

y=-1/3x+b

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

-3=2+b

-2 -2

-5=b

The answer is y=-1/3x-5
