Question

(Lesson 6.1) Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. (1 point)

6. Find an equation of a line with a slope of 6 and having the point (3,5) on the line.
y
=

Answer 1

y = 6x - 13

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 6, thus

y = 6x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 18 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 18 = - 13

y = 6x - 13 ← equation of line
