Answer:
y = 6x + 68
Step-by-step explanation:
The form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know that the slope is 6, so we substitute it for m in the equation:
y=6x+b
If we look at the graph shown below, we see that (-10, 8) has been plotted (the little dot).
Let's pretend there's an invisible 1 below 6: [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] This is our slope. We can do rise over run: [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]. 6 is the rise and 1 is the run.
If we look at the second picture, we went up 6 spaces and ran 1 space. We would keep doing this until the line hits the y-axis, which is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is 68. So the equation is
y = 6x + 68
