Y=mX+b or Y=6X+b & the Y intercept is 6-(6*8) or -42 thus the y intercept is
-42 then the equation is Y=6x-42

A line passes through the point (8,6) and has a slope of 6 .
Write an equation for this line in (x,y)-coordinates.
To find the equation of a line given the slope and one point
we can use the point-slope formula
Lets make point (8,6) = (x1,y1)
And m = 6 (this is the slope.)
Now we just plug in the values...

Now we perform the indicated operations...

Then add 6 to both sides of the equation...

And this is the final equation.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
