y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute (-3) for y1, the y-coordinate of (6,-3).
Substitute (-5/6) for m, the slope.
Substitute (6) for x1, the x-coordinate of (6,-3).
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE for x or y, but leave them as variables.
Solve for y.
Simplify.

an equation in slope intercept form:
where is a slope and is y-intercept

if line passes through the point (,) and have a slope of , we have
.........solve for




and your line is:

( 6,-3 ),


Multiply both sides by




----------------------------
check:
(6,-3 )



OK
