Answer:

         x + 3y = 7            

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line which passes through (x₁, y₁) and with slope of m in point-slope form:

                                y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -¹/₃

(1, 2)    ⇒   x₁ = 1,  y₁ = 2

Therefore,  the equation of the line which passes through (1, 2) and with slope of −1/3 in point-slope form:

y - 2 = -¹/₃(x - 1)

y - 2 = -¹/₃x + ¹/₃                     {add ¹/₃x to both sides}

¹/₃x + y - 2 = ¹/₃                     {add 2 to both sides}

¹/₃x + y = 2¹/₃                       {multiply both sides by 3}

x + 3y = 7
