Answer:
Slope is 5/3
y-intercept = -3
y = 5/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below
7-2 = 5
6-3= 3
Now you have your slope which is 5/3
Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-2 = 5/3(x-3)
y-2=5/3x-5
add two to both sides to get Y by itself
y = 5/3x - 3
now you have your y-intercept, which is -3
Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y
7 = 5/3(6)-3
7=7
12= 5/3(9)-3
12=12
Plugging in values, we get that (1,-4) works.
