Answer:

The answer to your question is y = 4x + 2

Explanation:

Data

slope = m = 4

Point = (1, 6)

Process

1.- Write the equation of the line in the point slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

2.- Identify the values of x1 and y1

x1 = 1 y1 = 6

3.- Substitution

y - 6 = 4(x - 1)

4.- Simplification

y - 6 = 4x - 4

5.- Solve for y

y = 4x - 4 + 6

6.- Result

y = 4x + 2
