okay. the point has an x and y value. place them into the equation.

1=m(1)+b

m=slope, and theequation tells you that slope is 7.

1=7(1)+b

now you need to figure out what b is.

1=7(1)+b

^

1= 7 +b

-7 -7

---------------

-6=B

b is 6. now place it into the equation, replacing the x and y values back.

y=7x-6.

write 7 and 6 in the boxes (the negative for the six has already been provided)
