Question

Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (6, 1) and has slope 5/6. Please show all of your work.

Answer 1

the slope is given so the equation can now be written as:
y = 5/6x + b
the b will be the y-intercept. since you are given a point (you are technically given and x and y-value) which you can plug into the equation and solve for b:
1 = 5/6(6) + b
1 = 5 + b
1-5 = b
-4 = b
so the equation now becomes:
y = 5/6x -4

Answer 2

yes (:
