The equation of the line that passes through (-9,6) and has a gradient of -1/3 is 3y + x - 9 = 0
Discussion :
The general form of a straight line equation :
ax + by + c = 0
ax + by = c or
y = mx + c
with:
x and y = variable
a, b, c, and m = constants

Known :
point (-9, 6)
m = -1/3
Asked: Line equation?
Answer :
Enter m into the equation of the line through point (-9, 6) and gradient -1/3:
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁ )
y - 6 = -1/3 (x - (-9))
y - 6 = -1/3 (x + 9)
y - 6 = -1 / 3x - 3
y = -1 / 3x - 3 + 6
y = -1 / 3x + 3
Because the result is a fraction, then the two segments we multiply by 3, then:
3y = -x + 9
3y + x - 9 = 0

Answer:
the formula of one point and slope is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
point(x1,y1) = (-9,6)
m = 1/3
substitute in equation
y-6 = 1/3 ( x+9)
3y-18 = x+9
x-3y+27=0 is answer
