[tex]\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope = m \implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-5=\cfrac{1}{3}[x-(-6)]\implies y-5=\cfrac{1}{3}(x+6) \\\\\\ y-5=\cfrac{1}{3}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+7[/tex]
