Step-by-step explanation:
the most usual firm of line equation is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line and is expressed as the ratio
y coordinate change / x coordinate change
when going from one point to the other.
b is the y-interception (the bake of y when x = 0).
once we have the slope, we get b by using the coordinates of one of the given points as x and y in the equation and solve for b.
the slope a :
x changes by +3 (from 3 to 6)
y changes by +8 (from -1 to 7)
so, the slope is +8/+3 = 8/3
our line equation now looks like
y = (8/3)x + b
let's simply use the first point
-1 = (8/3)×3 + b
-1 = 24/3 + b = 8 + b
-9 = b
and the full line equation is
y = (8/3)x - 9
