Answer:
equation: y = 3x - 17
[image attached]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that the equation for a line is y = mx + b
we are given a point, (6, 1)
remember that a point is (x, y)
we can plug these sample x and y values into our equation, replacing x and y
y = mx + b
1 = m6 + b
we know that m = 3 [this was a given], so we can plug this into our equation
1 = (3)(6) + b
1 = (18) + b
1 = 18 + b [we can now solve for "b"]
1 = 18 + b
-18 - 18
-17 = b
so, we can re-write our equation so that we can graph it:
y = 3x - 17
we can now plug in x-values to graph this:
(you'll see these written in the table on the graph)
y = 3(0) - 17
y = -17
y= 3(1) - 17
y = 3 - 17
y = -14
y = 3(2) - 17
y = 6 - 17
y = -11
y = 3(3) - 17
y = 9 - 17
y = -8
y = 3(4) - 17
y = 12 - 17
y = -5
y = 3(-1) - 17
y = -3 - 17
y = -20
y = 3(-2) - 17
y = -6 - 17
y = -23
y = 3(-3) - 17
y = -9 - 17
y = -26
