Write the equation of the line that passes through (6, 1), m = - 3

y = - 3x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

Here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 1) into the partial equation

1 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 18 = 19

y = - 3x + 19 ← equation of line
