the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept
y=−x+6 is in this form
with slope m =−1
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
x m perpendicular = - 1 m
m perpendicular = - 1 - 1 = 1
the equation of a line in point-slope form is.
x y - y 1 = m ( x - x 1 )
where m is the slope and ( x 1 , y 1 ) a point on the line
here m = 1 and ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( 6 , 1 )
y - 1 = 1 ( x - 6 ) in point-slope form
