point slope form
standard equation: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
point given: (6,3)
slope given: 5/3
equation: y-3 = 5/3(x-6)
choice b

Given: passes though (6,3) and m=(5/3).

Ok so we know that y = mx + b is the equation of a line and we have m and we can find b via substitution.

y = mx + b

3 = (5/3)(6) + b

3 - (5/3)(6) = b

b = -7

Great now we know b so we can construct the rest of the linear function.

y = f(x) = (5/3)(x) - 7

You can always check the answer by plugging 6 into the x variable.

f(6) = (5/3)(6) - 7 = 3

(6,3) checks out.
