Question

Write the equation of a line with a slope of –1 and a y-intercept of –6.

Answer 1

For this case the generic equation of the line is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where,

m: slope of the line

b: intersection with the y axis

For this case we have:

$m = -1\\b = -6$

Therefore, substituting values in the generic equation we have:

$y = -x - 6$

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

$y = -x - 6$

option 1

Answer 2

Answer is Y= -x - 6

This is in Y=mx + b form

M = slope

b= y-intercept

Answer 3

For this case the generic equation of the line is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where,

m: slope of the line

b: intersection with the y axis

For this case we have:

$m = -1\\b = -6$

Therefore, substituting values in the generic equation we have:

$y = -x - 6$

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

$y = -x - 6$
