Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y-x=-6`?

Answer 1

slope = 1
y-intercept = - 6

Explanation:

One form of the equation of a line is`color(blue) " y = mx + c "`

where m represents the gradient (slope) and c , the y-intercept.

rearrange y - x = -6 into this form and read off m and c.

hence y = x - 6 and slope = 1 , y-intercept = - 6
