Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for: `2x + y = -6`?

Answer 1

so the gradient is -2 and the `y` intercept is -6

Explanation:

rearrange as the general equation for a straight line `y=mx+c` where `m` is the gradient and `c` is the `y` intercept

`y=-2x-6`

so the gradient is -2 and the `y` intercept is -6
