and make sure you graph the 7 on the y axis- the person above explained it pretty well

What is a slope?

The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. It is denoted my letter 'm'

y = m x + c

m is the slope

Given data ,

Let the point be P ( x , y ) = P ( 0 , 7 )

Slope m of line = 1 / 6

The equation of line where the point P ( 0 , 7 ) and slope 1/6 is calculated by

y = m x + c

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation , we get

7 = ( 1/6 ) × 0 + c

So , c = 7

Therefore , the equation becomes y = ( 1 / 6 ) x + 7

Hence , the graph of the equation can be described
