Written in standard form an equation of the line passing through the given points with the given slope. slope=1/6;(1,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "For given problem:
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y=x/6+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using coordinates of given point (1,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "-5=1/6+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-5-1/6=-31/6
\n" ); document.write( "equation: y=x/6-31/6 \n" ); document.write( "
