Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -2) and has a

slope of 1/6 ?

Answer 1

y = 1/6x - 1

Explanation:

We already know that the slope is 1/6, which will be the m in the equation.

To find the y-intercept, you will have to plug the values of x and y into the equation so far, which is y = 1/6x + b.

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

-2 = -1 + b

-1 = b
