Answer:

y=x-3

Explanation:

First, you would need to put the information into point-slope form. y-y1=m(x-x1) using the (6,3) as (x1,y1).

It woud look like this: y-3= 1(x-6).

You would get rid of the parenthesis. y-3=x-6.

After this step, you would add 3 to both sides.

This would result in: y=x-3.

\huge\boxed{y=x-3}

Start with point-slope form, where
m is the slope and
(x_1, y_1) is a known point on the line.


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute in the known values.


y-3=1(x-6)

Distribute the
1 to the
(x-6).


y-3=x-6

Add
3 to both sides.


\boxed{y=x-3}
