Question

What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (0,5/6) and has a slope of 1

Answer 1

y = x+5/6

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx +b

We are given the slope of 1 and the y intercept of 5/6 (The y intercept is when x=0)

y = 1x+5/6

y = x+5/6

Answer 2

The slope is given as 1.

The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis when X is 0. This is also given by the point (0,5/6). X is 0 and Y is 5/6, so the Y-intercept is 5/6.

The equation of a line is given as y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The equation is: y = x +5/6
