I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

  (y-y1)=m(x-x1)     where m=slope

Using (x1,y1) is (-6,5):

1:  (y-5)= (1/3)(x-(-6))

2:   (y-5) = (1/3)(x+6)

3:     y-5 = (1/3)x + 2           Distribute

4:  y = (1/3)x + 7             Add 5 to both sides

Hope this helps.
