Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first we need to find the slope using the slope formula :
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-9,7)...x1 = -9 and y1 = 7
(-6,-3)....x2 = -6 and y2 = -3
now we sub
slope = (-3 - 7) / (-6 - (-9) = -10 / (-6 + 9) = -10 / 3
so our slope is -10/3
now we use y = mx + b....with m representing the slope
slope(m) = -10/3
use either of ur points....I will use (-9,7)...x = -9 and y = 7
we are solving for b, the y intercept
now we sub
7 = -10/3(-9) + b
7 = 30 + b
7 - 30 = b
- 23 = b
so ur equation is : y = -10/3x - 23
