There are different types of equations of lines. 
There are these three main forms, but I'll focus on just 2: 

Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b 

Where,
"m" = slope
"b" = y-intercept

Point-Slope Form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where, 
"m" = slope
"y1" = A y point on the graph
"x1" = A x point on the graph that correlates with the y value.

y = 6x - 12

Is in the same form of Slope-Intercept: 

So,

y = 6x - 12

m = 6 
b = -12

So our slope is, 
6

Keep in mind if it was a fraction (Example: 6/5, then the slope is 6/5) the slope will be the entire fraction. 

Also remember slope is the RISE over the RUN meaning it is the y value over the x value. So in this case we would go UP 6 and right 1 (because 6 is understood as 6/1).

Bumek [7]

Answer:

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the width of the patio, we will use the formula of the perimeter, in the case of the rectangle it has the formula of:

p = 2 * l + 2 * w

Now we know that the total fencing value is $ 976 and that per foot is $ 16

that is, we can calculate the value of the perimeter, like this:

976/16 = 61

We know that the perimeter is 61 feet and that the length is 16.5, therefore it only remains to replace:

61 = 16.5 * 2 + 2 * w

solving for w:

w = (61 - 33) / 2

w = 14

which means that the width of the patio is 14 feet.

Write the equation of the line parallel to the y axis at a distance of 7 units form it to is left​
Finger [1]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Two parallel lines are lines that never intersect each other.

The y-axis can be written as x = 0.

Then if we want a parallel line to this one, it must be something like x = b

such that b ≠ 0.

Now we want that the distance between our line and the line x = 0 is 7 units to the left

(remember that the left is the negatie side of the axis)

then we can write:

b - 0 = -7

b = -7

The parallel line is x = -7
