Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b [multiply]

3=2+b [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.
