You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph the line with the given slope and y-intercept b.
m=-6/5,b=1
-------
Since the y-intercept is 1, plot the point (0,1)
-------
Since the slope is -6/5, from (0,1) move your
pencil point 6 to the left to (-6,1)
then 5 up to (-6,6). Plot the point (-6,6).
---
Draw a line thru the points (0,1) and (-6,6).
That is the graph you want.
