Answer:

The answer is option C

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (1,2) and the slope is 6

The equation of the line in point slope form is


y - 2 = 6( x - 1)

Hope this helps you
