Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run


(rise)/(run)


m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)

So therefore, the slope for m is -6.

y-intercept for b is -5.

Hope this helps!

Remember that standard form is the following:


Ax + By = C


  • A,
    B, and
    C are constants

Thus, let's first work on getting
y and
x to the same side of the equation. Let's subtract
-6x from both sides of the equation and see what that gets us:


y - 6x = -5


Rearranging the terms on the left side gets us:


-6x + y = -5


However, in standard form,
A must be positive, so let's multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to cancel out the first negative sign:


6x - y = 5


Our answer is 6x - y = 5.
