Step 1 :We are given the slope \(m\) and the y-intercept \(b\). The slope-intercept form of the line is \(f(x) = mx + b\).
Step 2 :Substitute the given values into this equation to find the equation of the line.
Step 3 :Given: \(m = -\frac{17}{13}\), \(b = -3\)
Step 4 :Substitute these values into the equation: \(f(x) = -\frac{17}{13}x - 3\)
Step 5 :Final Answer: The equation of the line is \(\boxed{f(x) = -\frac{17}{13}x - 3}\).
