To find the slope, you can use the equation y2-y1 divided by x2 - x1. When you plug in the numbers from the problem, the equation becomes 9-6/-3-(-9). We know that subtracting by a negative is the same as adding a positive, so the equation becomes 9-6/-3+9. When you solve this, it becomes 3/6, which can be simplified to become 1/2. I have attached an image to hopefully make this easier for you to understand because I know it’s a bit confusing written out in words (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone). If there is anything that you need me to clarify, please let me know and I will be happy to help!

Answer:

y = -3/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

<em /> $m=\frac{3-(-6)}{-4-2}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{3+6}{-6}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{9}{-6}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{-3}{2}$ <em />

y = -3/2x + b

Step 2: Find y-intercept <em>b</em>

3 = -3/2(-4) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = -3

Step 3: Rewrite linear equation

y = -3/2x - 3
