Answer:

y = - 3x + 19

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
