if you need the equation of the line
then the equation of a line with slope m and passing through a point (x1,y1) is given by y-y1 = m(x-x1)
so here we get y-(-6)=6/7(x-5)
=> y+6=6/7(x-5)
=> 7y+42=6x-30

so the equation of the line is 6x-7y-72=0

Use the point-slope form of a line with point (xp, yp) and slope m:
