Question

HELP PLEASE What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 6) and has a slope of 3?

y = 3x + 5

y = 3x + 3

y = 3x - 17

y = 3x - 5

Answer 1

you need the equation y = mx + b
you have m = slope = 3, all you need is to find the value of b, you have points (1,6) that represents (x,y)

Answer 2

With this information can you find value of "b"

Answer 3

i dont know how to plug it in ): @ivettef365

Answer 4

ok, you have

y = mx + b
6 = 3(1) + b solve for be

Answer 5

I substitute the m = 3 the x = 1 and y = 6 do you see it ??

Answer 6

kind of im having a hard time ): @ivettef365

Answer 7

wait it is B?

Answer 8

ok you have formula y = mx + b (x,y)
(1,6) points given
m = slope = 3 (given) so I substitute on the formula
y = mx + b, the y for 6, the x for 1 and the m for 3 and you get the following;
6 = (3)(1) + b

Answer 9

now the way you solve this is
6 = 3 + b
-3 -3
----------
3 = b

Answer 10

so now you know the value of b = 3 and you know that the slope = 3
so you have y = 3x + 3

Answer 11

I am so confused @ivettef365

Answer 12

what is it that you don't understand ?

Answer 13

oh wait no i get it now aha thank you (:
