Answer 1

Hello there,

In order to find the equation you would need to use the slope intercept form:

• 
  `(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

Now we plug in and solve for the slope:

• 
  `(0-1)/(0-(-3))` =
  `(-1)/(3)`

Now we plug into y = mx + b to solve for the y-intercept:

• 0 = -
  `(1)/(3)`(0) + b which gives you 0 for the y-intercept

So the equation would have to be y =
`-(1)/(3)` +0 or just y =
`-(1)/(3)`

Hope I helped,
