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

Respuesta :

Answer is Y= -x - 6

This is in Y=mx + b form

M = slope

b= y-intercept

For this case the generic equation of the line is given by:

[tex] y = mx + b
[/tex]

Where,

m: slope of the line

b: intersection with the y axis

For this case we have:

[tex] m = -1

b = -6
[/tex]

Therefore, substituting values in the generic equation we have:

[tex] y = -x - 6
[/tex]

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

[tex] y = -x - 6
[/tex]
