Answer

$y = \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{1}{3}$ Domain is [-3, 6]

Work Step by Step

Find slope of line segment between (-3, -2) and (6, 3) $m = \frac {3 - (-2)}{6 - (-3)} = \frac{5}{9}$ $y = mx + b$ Find b, substitute (6, 3) $3 = 6 (5/9) + b$ $b = 3- (10/3)$ $b = \frac{-1}{3}$ Thus $y = \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{1}{3}$ Domain is [-3, 6]
