Answer:
[tex] y = -\frac{10}{3}x - 23 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Find slope (m) using of the line that passes through (-9, 7) and (-6, -3).
[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-3 - 7}{-6 -(-9)} = \frac{-10}{3} = -\frac{10}{3} [/tex]
Find y-intercept (b) by substituting m = -10/3, x = -6, and y = -3 in y = mx + b.
Thus:
-3 = (-10/3)(-6) + b
-3 = 20 + b
Subtract 20 from each side
-23 = b
b = -23
substitute m = -10/3, and b = -23 in y = mx + b, to get the equation.
The equation of the line would be:
✅ [tex] y = -\frac{10}{3}x + (-23) [/tex]
[tex] y = -\frac{10}{3}x - 23 [/tex]
