Find the equation of the line that has the given properties. Express the equation in​ slope-intercept form.

Question

Slope = -9; y-intercept = 6

What is the equation of the line?

y =

Answer 1

Slope-intercept format is given by y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and the y-intercept is (0,b) where b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.

Let's label the given info.

So, m=-9 and y intercept is (0,6) with b=6.

Therefore the equation of the line is y=-9x+6.

Answer 2

Since you are given the y-intercept, which has a y coordinate of 6 (the point is (0,6)), you can directly use y=mx+b.

So y = -9x+6.
