Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.
y =
X -

Answer 1

y = 6x - 2

Explanation:

Given that , A line's slope is 6, and its y-intercept is -2. And we need to write the equation in slope intercept form. We know slope intercept form as,

y = mx + C

Where ,

• m is the slope .
• c is y intercept.

Hence here , on substituting the respective values , we have

⇒ y = mx + C

⇒ y = 6(x) + (-2)

⇒ y = 6x -2

Hence the slope intercept form of the equation is y = 6x - 2.
