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

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 $6$ .

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