The question should read "Write AN equation for the line". There are many equivalent forms for the equation of any line.
One common form is slope-intercept form: ; m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To determine the slope for this problem, in your mind or on paper observe that the second point is 9 units to the right and 3 units down from the first point; the slope is "rise over run" = -3/9 = -1/3. So the slope-intercept form of the equation is of the form
Then one way to determine the y-intercept b is to plug the coordinates of either given point into that equation. Choosing the second point,
So the slope-intercept form of the equation is
