Slope is 2/3 , point slope form is y+7=2/3(x-3),
slope-intercept form is y= 2/3x-9., standard form is
2x-3y=27.Domain: x in RR or (-oo,oo). Range: y in RR or (-oo,oo)

Explanation:

The slope of the line passing through (3,-7) and (9,-3) is

m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)= (-3+7)/(9-3)=4/6=2/3

Point slope form of the line is y-y_1=m(x-x_1) or

y+7=2/3(x-3)

Let the equation of the line in slope-intercept form be y=mx+c

or y=2/3x+c . The point (3,-7) will satisfy the equation . So,

-7= 2/3*3+c or c= -7-2= -9. Hence the equation of

the line in slope-intercept form is y= 2/3x-9.

The equation of the line in standard form is 3y=2x-27 or

2x-3y=27.

Domain of the line y= 2/3x-9. is any real value of x

Domain: x in RR or (-oo,oo)

Range of the line y= 2/3x-9. is any real value of y

Range: y in RR or (-oo,oo)
