You will use the point-slope formula:
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

I don't know math what so ever
OpenStudy (anonymous):
M is the slope (-1/3). y1 is your y-value (-4) and x1 is your x-value(6).

so that's my final answer?

I'm here to help haha. I can't just give you the answer. It's against the rules. So I'll try to explain as best as I can.

Lol, you can break rules
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Let's just try. This is really easy. You just plug in and solve.
So, if you have your m (-1/3), your y1 (-4) and your x1 (6), you can plug in to the equation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You should get:
y- (-4) = -1/3 (x-6)

such a life saver <3

So, simplify:
y+4=-1/3x+2
