The two x-values are the same. If they are on a line, this is a vertical line, so no slope. You wanted slope-intercept form, but the equation for your line is x=3.

A reminder, slope-intercept form is y=mx%2Bb.
The best you can make is x-3=0
highlight%280=x-3%29 but this is misleading in that the line HAS NO SLOPE.


"Edited posting...",
No editing shown. Description and question are still the same. Two points with no difference between the horizontal values. This is a vertical line with NO SLOPE. Same answer. The line is highlight%28x=3%29.

Formula for slope applied to find slope:
m=%281-0%29%2F%28%283%29-%283%29%29
m=1%2F0, UNDEFINED! NO SLOPE.

Slope= 0-1/-3-3= -1/-6= 1/6
Thru (-3,0
y= s(x-h) +k
y= 1/6 (x-(-3))+0 note: the zero here has a slash going thru it
Final step to the solution is y = 1/6(x +3.... y= 1/6 x + 3/6....is y= 1/6 x + 1/2
