The equation would be #y=-7/6x+7/2# . graph{-7/6x+7/2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Explanation:

The expectation is to use these two points to create and equation in Slope-Intercept form:

#y=mx+b#

The Slope of a line can be determined by the equation:

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

In this case, you would use the ordered pair of your #y#-intercept as #(x_1,y_1)#, and the ordered pair of your #x#-intercept as #(x_2,y_2)# in the above formula to find the slope.

#m=(0-7/2)/(3-0)=(-7/2)/3=-7/2/6/2rarr-7/2*2/6=-14/12#
#darr#
#m=-7/6#

Then knowing the #y#-intercept, #(b)#, you can make the equation: #y=-7/6x+7/2#
