You are given the point:
( 3, -6 )
and slope =
+1%2F3+
---------------------
The line is TOTALLY determined by just
1 point and the slope, so that's all you need
---------------------
Now use the general point-slope formula:
+%28+y+-+%28-6%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+3+%29+=+1%2F3+
+%28+y+%2B+6+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+3+%29+=+1%2F3+
Multiply both sides by +3%2A%28+x+-+3+%29+
+3%2A%28+y+%2B+6+%29+=+x+-+3+
+3y+%2B+18+=+x+-+3+
+3y+=+x+-+21+
+y+=+%281%2F3%29%2Ax+-+7+
------------------------
check the answer:
( 3, -6 )
+-6+=+%281%2F3%29%2A3+-+7+
+-6+=+1+-+7+
+-6+=+-6+
OK
