What is the equation of a line through the points (0, 9) and (3, 0)?
because m = StartFraction 9 minus 0 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction; y = –3x + 9 because m = StartFraction 9 minus 0 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction; y = –3x + 3 because m = StartFraction 3 minus 0 Over 0 minus 9 EndFraction; y = negative one-third x + 9
because m = StartFraction 3 minus 0 Over 0 minus 9 EndFraction; y = negative one-third x + 3 Mark

  m = StartFraction 9 minus 0 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction; y = –3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are the y-intercept and the x-intercept, so they can be used directly in the intercept form of the equation of a line.

  x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1

  x/3 +y/9 = 1

Multiplying by 9 gives ...

  3x +y = 9

This can be rearranged to the slope-intercept form ...

  y = -3x +9

The answer selection shown above is the only one that matches the slope and y-intercept of the line through the given points.
