Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line described. Write the slope and y-intercept as fractions, if necessary. passes through (6, 2), parallel to y = -}x+1

Answer 1

So, using what I’m being given:

The slope of your answer will be whatever number is supposed to be in front of the x (assuming you hit the close brace on accident the same time you hit the minus sign, I’m gonna assume you meant to put -x+1) making the slope of your answer -1.

So you have y=-x+b

To find b, plug in (6,2)

2 = -(6) + b
8 = b

So, your answer would be

y = -x + 8

Otherwise, whatever is suppose be in front of the x,

y = -mx + (2+6m)
