Answer:


y=6x-5

Explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

We're given that the slope is 6. Plug this into
y=mx+b as m:


y=6x+b

Now, to solve for the y-intercept, plug in the point (1,1) and solve for b:


1=6(1)+b\\1=6+b\\b=-5

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -5. Plug this back into
y=6x+b:


y=6x+(-5)\\y=6x-5

I hope this helps!
