Question

The equation of the line with a slope of 6 and y-intercept of -1 is:

• y=-6x+1
• y=x-10
• y=-5x-10
• y=6x-1

Answer 1

y=6x-1

Explanation:

`m = 6 \\ y \: intercept \: - 1 \\`

(0,-1)

`y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y - - 1 = 6(x - 0) \\ y + 1 = 6x \\ y = 6x - 1`

Answer 2

`\bold{y=6x-1}`

Explanation:

Hi there!

Since we are given the slope and the y-intercept of the line, we can very easily identify the equation of the line.

Slope-intercept:

y=mx+b

Plug in the values:

`\bold{y=6x-1}`

Thus,
`\bold{y=6x-1}` is the equation of the line.

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!
