Question

What is the slope and intercept of `y = -x + 6`?

Answer 1

Slope of `y=-x+6` is `-1` and intercept on `y`-axis is `6`.

Explanation:

In slope-intercept form of equation of a line `y=mx+c`, `m` is the slope of the line and `c` is its intercept on `y`-axis.

The given equation `y=-x+6` can be written as

`y=(-1)×x+6`, hence its slope is `-1` and intercept on `y`-axis is `6`.
