Question

What is the slope intercept form.slope 1/3 and passes through (6,-1)

Solution

We know that the slope intercept formula is given by:

`y=mx+b`

where m is the slope and b the intercept so we can do this:

`y=(1)/(3)x+b`

Now we can use the point given x=6 and y=-1 to solve for b and we got:

`-1=(1)/(3)(6)+b`
`b=-1-2=-3`

So our equation would be:

`y=(1)/(3)x-3`
