Answer:
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](3,7)(-6,4)[/tex]
Step 1. Find the slope (by using the slope-formula)
m = slope
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{4-7}{-6-3}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-3}{-9}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{3}{9}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step 2. Write the equation (using the slope and the points)
Here's how to do it:
Slope-intercept Formula [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] whrere m = slope and b = y-intercept
Plug in the slope into the Slope-intercept Formula
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+b[/tex]
Find the y-intercept (b) by using a point and substituting their x and y values
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+b[/tex]
Point: (3, 7)
[tex]7=\frac{1}{3} (3)+b[/tex]
[tex]7=1+b[/tex]
[tex]b=7-1[/tex]
[tex]b=6[/tex]
Step 3. Write the equation in Slope-intercept form
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+6[/tex]
