Enter 2 points 1 point and the slope

Point 1:
(x1 = , y1 = )   Slope:
Point 2:
(x2 = , y2 = )    b:

Answer
Success!
y = 10x - 59

↓Steps Explained:↓

With a slope of 10
A point (x1, y1) = (6, 1):

Calculate the point-slope form.

The standard line equation is y = mx + b

Rearrange that equation to solve for b
we get b = y - mx.

Plug in our known values

b = 1 - (10 * 6)

b = 1 - 60

b = -59

Calculate the y intercept

The y intercept is found by
Setting x = 0 in y = 10x - 59

y = 10(0) - 59

y = -59

Calculate the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 10(x - 6)

Build our standard line equation

y = 10x - 59
