Given the 2 points (-3,5) & (0,-6)
The slope is: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-6-5)/(0+3)=-11/3 is the slope through these 2 points.
Y=mX+b where m=slope (-11/3) & b= the y intercept.
Now replace the X & Y values with one set of X,Y values & solve for the y intercept(b).
5=-11*-3/3+b
5=-33/3+b
5=-11+b
b=5+11
b=16 ans. for the y intercept.
Y=-11X/3+16
