Y=-7/2x+1/2
1. find slope
2. plug in slope to y=mx+b
3. take point and plug it in (find a b)
4. plug in slope and b to get equation
When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.
x-coordinate: (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate: (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1
Adding them to the coordinates of a,
x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).

Explanation:</h2>
Slope-intercept form:
What the variables mean:
Y=the y axis
m=the slope
x=the x-axis
b=the y intercept (the point on the line that crosses the y-axis)
To Calculate the Slope:
1. Find any 2 points on the line
2. The number of units the second point is above the first is the numerator
3. The number of units the second point is to the right of the first is a denominator
(Please see the picture attached)

To Find the Y-Intercept:
1. Find the point on the line that crosses the y-axis
