Given:

( 1, 1 )

x1 = 1

y1 = 1

m = 6

Determine the equation of the line in point-slope form.

Formula for Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Solution:

Substitute the given values of x1, y1, and m to the formula for point-slope form.

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 1 = 6 ( x - 1)

Final answer:

y - 1 = 6 ( x - 1)
