y-6=-3%282x-1%29

y-6=-3%282x%29-3%28-1%29 Distribute

y-6=-6x%2B3 Multiply

y=-6x%2B3%2B6 Add 6 to both sides (to isolate y)

y=-6x%2B9 Add

=======================================================

The final answer is y=-6x%2B9

Side Note: y=-6x%2B9 is in the form y+=+mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-6 and the y-intercept is b=9
