Answer:


\displaystyle y = -(2)/(3)x + 1

Explanation:

Everything is given to you, so plug all the information into the Slope-Intercept Formula:


\displaystyle y = mx + b \\ \\ 5 = -(2)/(3)[-6] + b \hookrightarrow 5 = 4 + b; 1 = b \\ \\ \boxed{y = -(2)/(3)x + 1}

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
