write and equation of the line through (6,-2) and (-3,1)

Question

anonymous · Answer

First find out what your m value is. As you probably know, this is also called something like "rise over run". ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
y2 = 1
y1 = -2
x2 = -3
x1 = 6

( 1 - (-2) ) / ( (-3) - 6 ) = ( 3 / -9 ) = -1/3

m = -1/3

anonymous · Answer

so your equation would be y = -1/3x since that line has 0 for a y-intercept. Normally you would have to find out what the value of b as well.
