Answer: y =
(-5)/(3)x + 7

Explanation:

Since you are given a point (6, -3) and the slope
(-(5)/(3)), you can use the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁); where (x₁, y₁) is the given point and m is the slope.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-3) =
-(5)/(3)(x - 6)

y + 3 =
-(5)/(3)x -
-(5)/(3)(6)

y + 3 =
-(5)/(3)x + 10

-3 -3

y =
-(5)/(3)x + 7
