"slope "=-1," y-intercept "=6slope =−1, y-intercept =6

Explanation:

"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

•color(white)(x)y=mx+b∙xy=mx+b

"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

"rearrange "y+x=6" into this form"rearrange y+x=6 into this form

"subtract " x" from both sides"subtract x from both sides

y=-x+6larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"y=−x+6←in slope-intercept form

"with slope "=-1" and y-intercept "=6with slope =−1 and y-intercept =6
