Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

The underlying equation for a line in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

For the equation y=3x−6, we can directly identify the values by comparing it to the general form.

1. The slope is the coefficient of x, so m=3.
2. The y-intercept is the constant term, so b=−6.

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

The equation is in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

 

slope = 3

y-intercept = -6
