Slope intercept

Question

Complete the equation of the line whose y-intercept is (0,6) and slope is 3

Answer 1

Hello, Jocelyn,

The equation format for a straight line is y = mx + B, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero). The question gives us m, the slope, as 3. It also provides the y-intercept, b, as 6 (when x is 0, as indicated by (0,6)).

Put m and b into the equation:

y = 3x + 6
