the equation in point-slope form: y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept
the equation of the line passing through
P(1, 6) with slope m+=2%2F3 will be:
y=mx%2Bb...substitute given m, given x and y coordinates of the point P(1, 6) so we can calculate b
6=%282%2F3%29%2A1%2Bb
6-%282%2F3%29=b
18%2F3-2%2F3=b
16%2F3=b
so, your equation is: y=%282%2F3%29x%2B16%2F3
