We know that the equation of the line is in the form
y=-(2)/(3)x+b. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.


-5=-(2)/(3)(6)+b\\-5=-4+b\\b=-1

Hence, the equation of the line is
y=-(2)/(3)x-1, and its graph looks something like follows.
