Hi,

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

find the slope and y intercept of the line and use the slope and y intercept to sketch a graph of the line.

y = 6x - 1  m = 6/1 and y-intercept is (0,-1)

Note: as y increases by 6, x increases by 1.  Ex. (1,5) on this Line
