what is an equation for the line that passes through the points (-3 7) and (3,3)

(-3, 7) and (3 , 3)
Slope = (7 - 3)/(-3 - 3) = -4/6 = -2/3
y = mx + b
b= y - mx
b = 3 - (-2/3)(3)
b = 3 + 2
b = 5
Equation
y = -2/3 x + 5
Answer
3) y = -2/3 x + 5
Hi!
First, we need to find the slope.
Here's the equation to find the slope.
[tex] \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} [/tex]
Put in the values and solve.
[tex] \frac{3-7}{3-(-3)} [/tex]
[tex] -\frac{4}{6} [/tex]
Simplify
[tex] -\frac{2}{3} [/tex]
Now our equation is
[tex] y=-\frac{2}{3}x+b [/tex]
We need to find b. Do this by putting one of the coordinates into the equation then solving.
[tex] 3=-\frac{2}{3}*3+b [/tex]
3=-2-b
5=b
[tex] y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5 [/tex]
The answer is 3) [tex] y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5 [/tex]
Hope this helps! :)
