Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18  

We want to write the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)

we start by calculating the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0+ 9)/(-6+9) = 9/3 = 3

The general equation of the line is;

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

To get c, we use any of the points

we substitute for example -6 for x and 0 for y

0 = 3(-6) + c

c = 0 + 18 = 18

So the equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18
