lol, i don't know how people get stuck in such simple problems. i advice, go read the concept and formulae once again. its no mind game, its just memory game. lol

sorry, i was replaying to some other thread and by mistake posted it here. 

see, the equation of line is y = m.x + c
where m = slope and c = intercept

now you know the slope i.e. -3

the only thing you gotta know is the intercept

now as the line passes through point (14, -9) so it satisfies the equation. 

therefore,
-9 = -3 (14) + c

=> c = -9 + 3 (14)
=> c = 51

therefore the required equation is y = -3x +51
