Answer: y=1/3x+11/3

Explanation:

Since we given the slope, we can write a slope-intercept form equation.

y=1/3x+b

Since we we don't have our y-intercept, we can plug in the coordinate we are given to find the y-intercept.

6=1/3(7)+b

6=7/3+b

11/3=b

Now that we have our y-intercept, we can complete our equation.

y=1/3x+11/3
