Answer 1

Answer:
`(y-1)=9(x-6)`

Explanation:

If a line is passing through the point (a,b) and has a slope m, then the equation of the line in point-slope form is given by :-

`(y-b)=m(x-a)`

Given: A line that includes the point (6, 1) has a slope of 9.

The equation of line in point-slope form:
`(y-1)=9(x-6)`

Hence, the required equation in point slope form:
`(y-1)=9(x-6)`
