Question

Find an equation of line with given slope and y-intercept. Slope= -6 y-intercept= (0,-10) The equation of the line is: ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, we find the slope-intercept form :

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope (it is always the factor of x), "b" is the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).

we have the slope : -6

and the given point (0, -10) gives us already the y-value when x = 0 : -10

therefore, the equation is

y = -6x - 10
