This can be done all using slope-intercept form if you want.

y=mx%2Bb
b=y-mx
You are given m and the specific point to be on the line you want, meaning (x,y) as a specific point.
b=3-%283%2F5%29%28-6%29
b=3%2B18%2F5
b=15%2F5%2B18%2F5
b=33%2F5

Using given slope again, and the y-intercept which is b,
highlight%28y=%283%2F5%29x%2B33%2F5%29 OR highlight%28y=%283%2F5%29x%2B6%263%2F5%29
