Answer:
y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the given line is,
y = mx + b
where 'm' = slope of the line
b = y-intercept of the line
Since slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is represented by,
m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
If the points are (0, 5) and (-3, 6),
Slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{6-5}{-3-0}[/tex]
= [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
y-intercept of the line 'b' = 5
Therefore, equation of the given line will be,
y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]
