Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of 6 and contains the point 1 1?

Answer 1

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m is slope, b is y-intercept.

you know slope(m=6) and the point (1, 1)

then, put them into the equation.

y = mx + b

1 = 6*1 + b

1 = 6 + b

1 - 6 = 6 + b - 6

b = -5

now you know slope and y-intercept. so, the answer is

y = 6x -5
