Question

Write the equation of a line with a slope of –1 and a y-intercept of –6? y = –x – 6 y = –6x – 1 –x + y = –6 –x – y = –6

Write the equation of a line with a slope of –1 and a y-intercept of –6.

y = –x – 6
y = –6x – 1
–x + y = –6
–x – y = –6

Answer 1

`y=-x-6`

Explanation:

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

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

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

`"here "m=-1" and "b=-6`

`y=-x-6larrcolor(red)" is the equation of line"`

Answer 2

`y= -x-6`

Explanation:

y=mx+c is the equation of a straight line
m= gradient/ slope
c= y- intercept
from the question, we can sub in the m to be -1
`y=-x+c`
from the question, we can sub in the c to be -6
`y=-x-6`
