Question

Line ab passes through points a(-6,6) and b(12,3). if the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, then m= -1/6. what is the value of b?

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation of the line is of the form $y=-\frac{1}{6}x+b$.

Substituting in the coordinates (12,3), we get that:

$3=-\frac{1}{6}(12)+b\\\\3=-2+b\\\\b=5$
