Find the point (6,1) on the coordinate plane, then from that point go 5 points down and 3 points to the right, mark the second point. Connect the dots.

Hi,
*Note: slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where ma is the slope and b is the y-intercept (value of y where the line passes thru the y-axis)
.
y = (-5/3)x + b
.
Sustituting P(6,1)
1 = -10 + b
11 = b
Pt(0,11) is a point on the line.
.
y = (-5/3)x + 11
