\

The line equation in slope-intercept form is $\"\"$ , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

\

First find the slope of the line.

\

$\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ .

\

Next find the y-intercept value by replacing m with $\"\"$ , y with –8 and x with –6 in the equation $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Subtract 9 from each side.

\

Replace m with $\"\"$ and b with –17 in the slope-intercept form line equation $\"\"$ .
