write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points:
through: (3,1) and (0,3)
:
Find the slope: %283-1%29%2F%280-3%29 = 2%2F%28-3%29 = -2%2F3
Y intercept occurs when x = 0, therefore
y = -2%2F3x + 3; the slope intercept form
;
Check solution, replace x with 3:
y = -2%2F3(3) + 3
y = -2 + 3
y = 1
