Question

A line has a slope of 5/6

and passes through the point (7,6). Write its equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

Here is another way:

Start with point ( 7,6) slope ( m= 5/6) form :

(y-6) = 5/6 ( x-7) expand

y-6 = 5/6 x - 35/6 add 6 to both sides

y = 5/6 x + 1/6 Done.

Answer 2

y = 5/6x + 1/6

Explanation:

m = 5/6, x = 7, y = 6

y = mx + b

6 = 5/6(7) + b

b = 6 - 35/6

b = 36/6 - 35/6 = 1/6

y = 5/6x + 1/6
