Question 877353: Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 6 and contains the point (1, 1).

y = mx+b is the general slope intercept equation
m = slope
b = y-intercept
----------------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = 6x + b ... plug in the given slope
1 = 6*(1) + b ... plug in the given point (x,y) = (1,1)
1 = 6 + b
1 - 6 = b
-5 = b
b = -5
Since m = 6 and b = -5, the equation of the line is y = 6x - 5
