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

Answer 1

The equation of the line that passes through the point (x₁,y₁) and has slope m is:

(y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)

Now use the point and slope given in your question. So the equation of the line will be:

y + 1 = 1(x - 6)

which can also be simplified to y = x - 7.

Answer 2

1=(y+1)/(x-6)
