Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The slope is given as 6/7. In slope-intercept form that is the coefficient of x, eliminating choices C and D.

If we try the point in the remaining equations, we find ...

A: y = 6/7(6) -1/7 = (36 -1)/7 = 35/7 = 5 . . . . . the correct equation

B: y = 6/7(6) +1/7 = (36+1)/7 = 37/7 = 5 2/7 . . . does not match (6, 5)

The appropriate choice is A.
