Question

Write a linear equation provided the following key information:

slope= 3/5, y-intercept= 6

A. y= 6 + 3/5
B. y= 3/5x + 6
C. y= 3/5 + 6
D. y= 6x + 3/5

Answer 1

Given:

Slope =
`(3)/(5)` and y-intercept = 6.

To find:

The linear equation for the given information.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear equation is

`y=mx+b`

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Putting
`m=(3)/(5)` and b =6 in the above equation, we get

`y=(3)/(5)x+6`

The required linear equation for the given information is
`y=(3)/(5)x+6`.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
