Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 0)
m = =
= - 1
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6 ) ⇒ c = 6
y = - x + 6 or y = 6 - x ⇒ B
