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

Answer 1

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

------------

The point slope form of a line is given as follows....

y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)

1.  m is the slope
2. (x_1, y₁) is a point on the line......so in this case.....

y -(-1) = 1 (x - 6).....simplified.....we have.....y+1 = x-6....or y = x - 7

is the equation of the line that passes through the given point with the given slope.
