Find the slope of the line

divide both side by

If you have trouble picturing this line, think of it
as saying: "No matter where I go on this line, never
changes: it is always "
It has to be a horizontal line that cuts the y-axis at
-------------------
Now you want a line that is horizontal ( never changes)
through the point (6,-1). This is (x,y), so
The answer is the given point is already on the line .
