Question

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Slope is -6, and (3,1) is on the line.
please help me

Answer 1

y = -6x + 19

Explanation:

slope intercept for is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

use m = -6 and x = 3, y =1 to plug in and first find b.

1 = -6(3) + b

1 = -18 + b

b= 19.

now rewrite in slope intercept form.

y = -6x +19
