Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (2, 6) and (x2, y2) = (1, 9).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(-3)x + (12)

Find the equation of the line passing through the points left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis negative 1 comma 9 right parenthesis
------------------
(2,6) and (1,9)
------
Write the equation in point-slope form.
m = (9-6)/(1-2) = -3
----
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
9 = -3*1 + b
b = 12
-----
Equation:
y = -3x + 12
