Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find an equation by starting with the slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
We are given the slope, so:
y = -(1/3)x + b
Now we need to find a value for b that will force the line to go through point (-6,-6). We can determine by putting the point (-6,-6) into the equation and solving for b:
y = -(1/3)x + b
-6 = -(1/3)(-6) + b [Enter the point (-6,-6]
-6 = 2 + b
b = - 8
The equation becomes y = -(1/3)x - 8.
