To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, we first need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).
To find the slope, we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Using the points (-3,0) and (-2,3):
m = (3 - 0)/(-2 + 3) = 3/1 = 3
Now that we have the slope (m = 3), we can plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b
Using the point (-3,0):
0 = 3(-3) + b
0 = -9 + b
b = 9
Now we have the slope (m = 3) and the y-intercept (b = 9), so the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
y = 3x + 9
