Question

Write an equation of the form y = mx for the line shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To get slope intercept, you divide both y values by both x values like this

$\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

In this case this will be $\frac{(-3 - 6)}{(1 - (-2))}$

This will become $\frac{-9}{3}$

Divide those two to get -3, and now you get your slope intercept.
