Answer:

y - 6 = 1/3(x + 6)

Explanation:

Points: (-6,6), (6,2)

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We see the y decrease by 4 and the x increase by 12, so the slope is

m = -4/12 = -1/3

Now, we can use the point-slope form, which is:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 6 = 1/3(x - (-6))

y - 6 = 1/3(x + 6)

So, the answer is y - 6 = 1/3(x + 6)
