Answer: The next point on your graph should be (1,6).

Explanation:

In the equation y=mx+b, if m is a fraction then you should increase the y-value of your current point by the numerator and the x value by the denominator. In simple terms, slope =
(rise)/(run). In this problem, you rise (y-axis)5 units and you run (x-axis)6 units.
