Answer:

y = 1/10 x + 18/5

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is given as

y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the intercept

For a line with given points (x1, y1), the equation is given as

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Hence if there is a line that includes that point (-6,3) and has a slope of 1/10 then the line

y - 3 = 1/10(x --6)

multiply both sides by 10

10y - 30 = x + 6

Rearrange

10y = x + 6 + 30

10y = x + 36

y = 1/10 x + 36/10

y = 1/10 x + 18/5
