A line with a slope of 1 4 passes through the point (0, 6) . What is its equation in slope -intercept form?

Answer 1

Hello, Ysla,

The slope intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We are given the slope (14) [Did you mean to write 1.4?], so we have:

y = 14x + b

To find b, just use the point provided to solve the equation for b, since we know it is on the line.

(0,6): 6 = 14(0) + b

b = 6

The equation is y = 14x + 6
