To find the slope-intercept form of a linear equation using two given points, we can use the formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁),

where (x₁, y₁) and (x, y) are two points on the line, and m is the slope of the line.

Given points: (-3, 3) and (3, 0)

First, let's find the slope, m:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (0 - 3) / (3 - (-3))
m = (-3) / 6
m = -1/2

Now, we can select one of the points, let's say (-3, 3), and substitute its coordinates along with the slope into the slope-intercept form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = (-1/2)(x - (-3))
y - 3 = (-1/2)(x + 3)
y - 3 = (-1/2)x - 3/2

To simplify, we can add 3 to both sides to isolate y:

y = (-1/2)x - 3/2 + 3
y = (-1/2)x - 3/2 + 6/2
y = (-1/2)x + 3/2

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line passing through the points (-3, 3) and (3, 0) is y = (-1/2)x + 3/2.
