y=ax+b
slope is 6 so y=6x+b
point is putting to y=6x+b
1=6*1+b
b=-5
y=6x-5

m=6 , \ \ \ (1, 1) \\ \\To \ find \ our \ equation \ we \ will \ use \ the \ formula: \\ \\ y - y _(1) = m(x - x _(1)), wherem \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ (x _(1), y _(1)) \ is \ the \ point \\ \\m=6 , \ \ x_(1)=1 , \ \ y_(1) = 1\\\\y - 1 = 6(x-1)\\\\y-1=6x -6 \\\\y=6x-6+1\\\\y=6x-5
