Question

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

Answer 1

The slope is `-1` and the y-intercept is `6.`

Explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

`y=mx+b` , where the slope is `m` and the y-intercept is `b.`

So in this case we have:

`y=6-x=>` write in slope-intercept form:

`y=-x+6=>` We can see that slope`=m=-1`

and the y-intercept `=b=6.`
