Question

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 Is this the right answer

y = 3x - 17

y = 3x - 5

Answer 1

slope(m) = 3
(1,6) x = 1 and y = 6
y = mx + b (solving for b)
6 = 3(1) + b
6 = 3 + b
6 - 3 = b
3 = b
your equation is : y = 3x + 3 --- you are correct :)
