Question

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 6 that contains the same point (1,2)

Answer 1

Step 1: Create an equation with a slope of 6
y=6x+b

Step 2: Substitute x and y by with the point (1,2) and solve the equation for b
y=6x+b
2=6(1)
2=6
2=6+b
b=-4

Step 3: Substitute -4 for b in the equation
y=6x+b
y=6x+(-4)
y=6x-4

The equation that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point (1,2) in point-slope form:
y=6x-4
