Question

In the xy -plane, a line has a slope of 6 and passes through the point . Which of the following is an equation of this line?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. The slope-intercept form of an equation for a line is , where m is the slope of the line and b is the y -coordinate of the y -intercept of the line. It&rsquo;s given that the slope is 6, so . It&rsquo;s also given that the line passes through the point on the y -axis, so . Substituting and into the equation gives .
