what is the y intercept of the line with s slope of -5 that also passes through the points (- 1/6 , 1) ?

slope = -5
given point is (-1/6,1)
Use point slope formula
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
m = -5 , x1 = -1/6 and y1 =1
Plug in all the values in the formula
[tex]y - (1) =-5(x - (\frac{-1}{6}))[/tex]
[tex]y-1 = -5x - (\frac{5}{6}) [/tex]
Add 1 on boths ides
[tex]y=-5x + \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
y intercept is the constant value
Here y intercept is 1/6
