Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 6 and contains the point (1, 1).

Answer 1

Answer: y=6x-5

Explanation:

Since we know the slope, we can plug it into the slope-intercept equation. We can plug in the given point to find the y-intercept.

y=6x+b

1=6(1)+b

1=6+b

b=-5

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can complete the equation.

y=6x-5
