Answer:
y = 3x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 0)
m = =
= 3, thus
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 6, 0), then
0 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 18 = 18
y = 3x + 18 ← equation of line
