Answer:
y = x – 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run
(y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
(-5 – 4) / (-3 – 6)
-9 / -9
= 1
Using y = mx + b, plug in the slope and a point to solve for b:
y = mx + b
4 = 1(6) + b
4 = 6 + b
-2 = b
Plug in the slope and b to y = mx + b
y = 1x – 2
y = x – 2
So, the equation of the line is y = x – 2
