#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"#

#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#
