Question

Write the equation of the line which has a slope of 5/6 and passes through (6,1). Write the answer in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y = (5/6)x -4

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is a useful starting point.

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

y -1 = (5/6)(x -6) . . . . requested line

y = 5/6x -5 +1

y = (5/6)x -4 . . . . simplified to slope-intercept form
