Given:

Two points are,


(a,6),(0,1)

The slope is,


m=1

To find:

The value of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope-intercept form of a line equation,


y=mx+c

Substituting y-intercept c = 1 and slope m = 1 we get,


y=(1)x+1

Then substituting the first point we get,


\begin{gathered} 6=a+1 \\ a=6-1 \\ a=5 \end{gathered}

The value of a is 5.

Final answer:

The value of a is 5.
