Question

How do you write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with a slope of -6 and a y-intercept of 9?

Answer 1

y = -6x + 9

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is `color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|)))`
where m represents the gradient (slope) and b, the y-intercept

Here m = -6 and b = 9

Substituting into the equation gives : y = -6x + 9
