Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form y=(4+csc(x))/(8-csc(x)) , (pi/6,1)
The given problem is asking for the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope of the line and 'b' is the y-intercept. The problem provides the general form of the equation y = (4 + csc(x)) / (8 - csc(x)), and a specific point that lies on the line, which is (pi/6, 1). We need to find the values of 'm' (slope) and 'b' (y-intercept) that will satisfy the given point. To do so, we might need to manipulate the provided equation and utilize the given point to calculate the slope and y-intercept, effectively re-expressing the equation in the desired slope-intercept form.
