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:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+b$

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

$-1=\frac{1}{3}(6)+b$$b=-1-2=-3$

So our equation would be:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-3$
