I will assume that you meant 3x - 2y + 9 = 0.
Substituting the coordinates of the point into the equation, we get
3*1 - 2*6 + 9 =3 - 12 +9 = 0,
and so the point (1,6) is a point on the line.
By the point-slope form y+-+y%5B0%5D+=+m%28x-x%5B0%5D%29,
==> y-7+=+%283%2F2%29%2A%28x-3%29, or 2y - 14 = 3x - 9
or3x-2y+5 = 0.
