You can put this solution on YOUR website! P = (6,3), m = -1/3
Find the equation of the line containing the point P and having the slope m. Write the answer in slope-intercept form and Graph the line.

Form: y = mx + b
You are told that y = 3 when x = 6; and m = -1/3.
Solve for "b":
------
3 = (-1/3)*3 + b
3 = -1 + b
b = 4
------
Equation:
y = (-1/3)x + 4
