Given:
(x, y) ==> (1, -6)
m = 5
To write the equation, use the slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To solve for b, substitue 1 for x, -6 for y, and 5 for m in the equation.
Thus we have:
y = mx + b
-6 = 5(1) + b
-6 = 5 + b
Subtract 5 from both sides:
-6 - 5 = 5 - 5 + b
-11 = b
The y-intercept is -11.
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
y = 5x - 11
ANSWER:
y = 5x - 11
