Write a linear equation from a slope and a point

Question

A

line

with

a

slope

of

1

9

passes

through

the

point

(9, 6)

.

What

is

its

equation

in

slope

-intercept

form?

Answer 1

6 = (1/9)9 = b

b= 6-1 = 5 = y intercept

y = x/9 + 5 is the equation of the line with slope = 1/9 through the point (9,6)

Unless you meant slope =19?

then

6= 19(9) + b

b = 6-171 = -165 = y intercept

y = 19x -165
