Answer:

y -6 = -5(x -3)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

You have been given ...

m = -5

(h, k) = (3, 6)

Putting the given values into the point-slope form gives the equation you want:

y -6 = -5(x -3)
