Answer:

y + 10 = -1/3 (x - 6) OR y = -1/3x-8

Explanation:

take the slope of y = -1/3x - 2 (the slope is -1/3)

plug the slope and the point into this equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m represents your slope, y1 and x1 represnt your points so just plug in

so y + 10 = -1/3 (x - 6) or y = -1/3x-8 (subtract 10 from both sides and distribute the -1/3 to (x -6)).
