Answer:
The equation of the line is y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where
- m is the slope of the line,
- b is the y-intercept (value y at x = 0)
Let us take two points on the line to find its equation
∵ Points (3, 3) and (0, -3) lie on the line
∴ x1 = 3 and y1 = 3
∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = -3
→ Use the rule of the slope above to find m
∵
∴ m = 2
→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above
∴ y = 2x + b
∵ b is the value of y at x = 0
∵ y = -3 at x = 0
∴ b = -3
→ Substitute it in the equation above
∴ y = 2x + -3
→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)
∴ y = 2x - 3
∴ The equation of the line is y = 2x - 3
