Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the equation of a line passes through $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is,

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Thus, the equation of the line passes through (-6, -3) and (6, -7) would be,

$y+3=\frac{-7+3}{6+6}(x+6)$

$y+3=\frac{-4}{12}(x+6)$

$y+3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)$

$y + 3 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 2$

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x -5$
