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
