y=3x+3

Explanation:

If a straight line passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope m, then its equation can be written as yy1=m(xx1).

By utilizing the values given in question, we get the equation,

y6=3(x(1))

y6=3x3

y=3x+3 which is of the form y=mx+c (slope intercept form.

y=3x+3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

xy=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

here m=3

y=3x+bis the partial equation

to find b substitute (1,6) into the partial equation

6=3+bb=63=3

y=3x+3in slope-intercept form
