Question

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through (0,6) and has a slope of -3/11

Answer 1

you're actually given both values to you directly that you need to complete slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) for this question.

we have

m = slope = -3/11

b = yintercept = 6

meaning that the full equation of the line here is

y = -3/11x + 6

Answer 2

the line in slope intercept form is,

  y= mx + b, where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

given the slope m, which is -3/11, and a point (0,6)

  6= (-3/11)(0) + b, where b is 6

Therefore, y= (-3/11)x + 6, or y= -3x/11 + 6
