Answer

$y=-3x+6$

Work Step by Step

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(0,6)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,-3)$ Slope $\Rightarrow m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{-3-6}{3-0}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{-9}{3}$ $\Rightarrow m=-3$ Because the line crosses the $y-$ axis at $(0,6),$ the $y-$intercept is $b=6$. The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ Substitute $-3$ for $m$ and $6$ for $b$. $\Rightarrow y=-3x+6$
