Answer:
m = StartFraction 9 minus 0 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction; y = –3x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are the y-intercept and the x-intercept, so they can be used directly in the intercept form of the equation of a line.
x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1
x/3 +y/9 = 1
Multiplying by 9 gives ...
3x +y = 9
This can be rearranged to the slope-intercept form ...
y = -3x +9
_____
The answer selection shown above is the only one that matches the slope and y-intercept of the line through the given points.
