The straight-line equation in the slope-intercept
form is , where
= slope
= the y-intercept
--------------
The problem gives

and the line passes through (6, -3)
If I plug in the value for slope,

Since (6,-3) is a solution for the equation, I can say

Multiply both sides by

Multiply both sides by
answer
check:
Does it pass through (6,-3)?

OK

Y=mX+b
-3=6/7*6+b
-3=36/7+b
b=-3-36/7
b=(-3*7-36)/7
b=(-21-36)/7
b=-57/7 the y intercept.
y=6x/7-57/7 ans.
