You can put this solution on YOUR website! Written in standard form an equation of the line passing through the given points with the given slope. slope=1/6;(1,-5) ***
 Standard form of equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
 For given problem:
 equation: y=x/6+b
 solve for b using coordinates of given point (1,-5)
 -5=1/6+b
 b=-5-1/6=-31/6
 equation: y=x/6-31/6
