Answer

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-6$ (see graph)

Work Step by Step

We are given the points: $(-9,-3),(-3,-5)$ Determine the slope of the line: $m=\dfrac{-5-(-3)}{-3-(-9)}=\dfrac{-2}{6}=-\dfrac{1}{3}$ Determine the equation of the line using the slope and one of the points: $y+3=-\dfrac{1}{3}(x+9)$ $y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-3-3$ $y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-6$ Use the two points to graph the function:
