Line m includes the points (-5,3) and (-2,-6). Line n has the same slope as line m and y-intercept of -2/3. Write the equation for line n in slope intercept for

Question

I have tried to do this question and I just dont understand it at all

Answer 1

first you need the slope of m. Slope = change in y divided by change in x

so slope of m = (3- -6)/(-5- -2) = 9/-3 = -3.

the equation of a line is

y= slope*x+b where b is y intercept. You are given y intercept is -2/3 and the slope is the same as line m so your equation Is 

y=-3x-2/3
