(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ - 6 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-4)}=\stackrel{m}{- 6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3}) \implies y +4= -6 (x -3) \\\\\\ y+4=-6x+18\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=-6x+14 \end{array}}
