(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \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}{0}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}) \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{3}(x+6)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+2
