Answer:

y = 3x - 27

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3 , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = 18 + c ⇒ c = - 9 - 18 = - 27

y = 3x - 27 ← equation of line
