Call the first number x and the second number y. According to the first sentence, x = 6y. According to the second sentence, x + y = 77. You can combine these two equations to solve for x and y:

6y + y = 77
7y = 77
y = 11

Since x = 6y, x = 6(11) = 66

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation? y = –6x – 1

Y= -6x-1
this is in the form y=mx+b
where m=slope and b= y intercept
so y intercept= -1
the y intercept is where the equation cuts the y-axis
