Question

What is the slope intercept form.slope 1/3 and passes through (6,-1)

Solution

We know that the slope intercept formula is given by:


y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the intercept so we can do this:


y=(1)/(3)x+b

Now we can use the point given x=6 and y=-1 to solve for b and we got:


-1=(1)/(3)(6)+b
b=-1-2=-3

So our equation would be:


y=(1)/(3)x-3
