Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{3}x-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step 1: Define

Point (9, -7)

Point (-6, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

[tex]m=\frac{-2-(-7)}{-6-9}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-2+7}{-15}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{-15}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{3}x+b[/tex]

Step 3: Find y-intercept b

[tex]-7=\frac{-1}{3}(9)+b[/tex]

[tex]-7=-3+b[/tex]

[tex]-4=b[/tex]

Step 4: Write linear equation in slope-intercept form

[tex]y=\frac{-1}{3}x-4[/tex]
