Answer:

y = ¹/₃x + 11

Explanation:

A line passing through point (x₁, y₁) with the slope of m in point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = ¹/₃

(-6, 9) x₁ = -6, y₁ = 9

So:

y - 9 = ¹/₃(x - (-6))

y - 9 = ¹/₃(x + 6) ← point-slope form

y - 9 = ¹/₃x + 2 {add 9 to both sides}

y = ¹/₃x + 11 ← slope intercept form
