What is the equation of this graphed line?

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points on the line are:

$(x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)=(6,-7)$

Now, for a line with two points on it, the slope of the line is given as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For the points $(x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)=(6,-7)$ , slope is:

$m=\frac{-7-(-3)}{6-(-6)}\\m=\frac{-7+3}{6+6}\\m=\frac{-4}{12}=-\frac{1}{3}$

Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point $(x_1,y_1)$ on it is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Plug in all the values and determine the equation of the line. This gives,

$y-(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-6))\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}\times 6\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-2\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-2-3\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5$
