Answer:
y = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + 2
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 ) = (6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2)
m = [tex]\frac{2+3}{0-6}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{5}{-6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex], thus
y = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (6, - 3), then
- 3 = - 5 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 5 = 2
y = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + 2 ← equation of line
