Answer:
y = 1/3x – 4
Step-by-step explanation:
please mark me branliest tyyyy!! :))))))))))
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula,
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
Thus, the slope is
.
2) Next, write the equation of the line using the point-slope formula
. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute
,
, and
for real values.
Since
represents the slope, substitute
for it. Since
and
represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of either one of the given points (it doesn’t matter which one, it will equal the same thing) into the formula as well. I chose (3, -3), as shown below. From there, convert the point-slope form of the equation to slope-intercept form by isolating y:
