Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,1) and has a slope of 1/6?

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 1 = 1/6x + 1 <<< Point slope form

y = 1/6x + 2 <<< slope intercept form

Either one works unless the question specifies the form of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Given: (-6,1) ; m = 1/6

(y - 1) = 1/6(x - (-6))

y - 1 = 1/6x + 1 <<< Point slope form

y = 1/6x + 2 <<< slope intercept form: y = mx + b
