( 5 , 6 ) , s l o p e : m = 2 1 ​ x = 5 , y = 6 , m = 2 1 ​ t h e s l o p e in t erce pt f or m i s : y = m x + b 6 = 2 1 ​ ⋅ 5 + b
6 = 2 5 ​ + b b = 6 − 2 5 ​ = 6 − 2 2 1 ​ = 3 2 1 ​ y = 2 1 ​ x + 3 2 1 ​

To graph the line through the point (5, 6) with a slope of 2 1 ​ , use the point-slope form to find the equation as y = 2 1 ​ x + 3.5 . Then, plot the point and use the slope to find additional points before drawing the line.
