Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Solution:

f(x) = -2x + 6 is the same way as writing y = -2x + 6!

y = mx + b is slope-intercept form.

m = slope and b = y-intercept.

-2 = slope and 6 = y-intercept.

-------------------------------------------------

Answer:

-2 is the slope.

6 is the y-intercept.

-------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Answer:

slope = - 2 and y- intercept = 6

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2 and y- intercept c = 6
