Answer: The equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,6) and has a slope of -5/3 is y = -5/3x + -3.96.

Explanation:

y = 6, x = -6

By putting above values in equation (i)

6 = approximately -1.66 (-6) + b

6 = approximately 9.96 + b

approximately -3.96 = b

b = approximately -3.96

y = -5/3x + -3.96
