Answer:

c. y = x - 6

Explanation:

This question wants you to find the equation in slope-intercept form, each is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The first thing to do is find the y-intercept, to do this find the value of y when x equals zero. The way to do this is to look the value of y on the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is -6. Then, find the slope; since you are given the graph you can count out the slope. To do this find out how much the y and x values change. On this graph, y increases 1 when x increases 1, so the slope is 1/1 or one 1. So the equation is y=1x-6, which simplifies to y=x-6.
