You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = mx+b is the general slope intercept equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 6x + b ... plug in the given slope\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 = 6*(1) + b ... plug in the given point (x,y) = (1,1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 = 6 + b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 - 6 = b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5 = b\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b = -5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since m = 6 and b = -5, the equation of the line is y = 6x - 5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
