Answer:

  y = 6x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . . m = slope, b = y-intercept

Solving this for b, we get ...

  b = y -mx

  b = -7 -6(-3) = -7 +18 = 11 . . . . . . using the given point and slope

Then the desired equation is ...

  y = 6x +11
