Answer:
y = (2/3)x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
Note that:
y = (x , y)
m = slope
x = (x , y)
b = y-intercept.
The point is given to you. Note that:
(x , y) = (0 , -3) ∴
x = 0
y = -3
The slope = m = 2/3
Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variable:
y = mx + b
-3 = (2/3)(0) + b
-3 = 0 + b
b = -3
Plug in -3 for b in the equation:
y = mx + b
y = (2/3)x -3
y = (2/3)x - 3 is your equation.

If it doesn't matter whether the points are integers or not you can just pick a number for either y or x and solve for the other variable. For example, if you pick 3 to be your x, plug it in and then solve for y. Start out with:
Plug in 3 for x:
. Then,
. Subtract 21 from both sides and then divide by -3 on both sides. You end up with y=-7 so one of your points is (3, -7)
no -17 is greater than -6
You solve by with by altitude! Hope it helps
You need to add a -1
We can find this by setting up the equation like so
x + (-6) + 12 + 15 / 4 = 5
x + 21 = 20
x = 20 -21
x = -1
Now if we insert -1 where x is located in the equation, you will get a means of 5
