Answer:

y = -1/3x + 3

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (3, 4) and (-3, 2)

We see the y decrease by 2 and the x increase by 6, so the slope is

m = -2/6 = -1/3

The Y-intercept is located at (0, 3)

So, the equation is y = -1/3x + 3
