We're given that has " a slope of -1/3", so . In addition, we're told that the line passes " through the point (6, -4)" which means that and

Start with the general slope intercept equation.

Plug in , and

Multiply and to get

Add 2 to both sides.

Combine like terms.

So which means that the equation of the line is
