A line passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope of 6. Write an equation for this line

Answer 1

3 = 6+b

b = -3

y=6x -3 is the equation of the line with slope 6 through the point (1,3)

slope = m = 6 = the coefficient of the x term when the equation is solved for y

y=mx + b

y=6x +b. solve for b, the y intercept by plugging in the point (1,3), x=1, y=3

3=6(1) +b

3 =6 +b

b =-3

y=6x -3
