Please consult the "Calculations" section of this ans .


\Large\texttt{Calculations\::}

The information we're given is below :

  • slope : -1/3
  • Point crossed by the line : (3, 6)

As per given information , we can do the following :

  • Write the line's equation in point slope form

Point - slope form looks like so :

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-6=-1/3(x-3)

y-6=-1/3x+1

y=-1/3x+1+7

y=-1/3x+6
