Answer:

y= -x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y= mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept ( where the graph intersects the y-axis)

slope by looking at the graph:

-take any points on the graph, for example ( 6, 0) and (0, 6)

-to get from (6,0) to (0, 6) go 6 units up and 6 to the left

-slope is m = rise / run = 6 / -6= -1

y-intercept is 6 because there is where the line intersects the y-axis

y= -1*x + 6

y = -x +6

Answer:
y = -x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is -1, and the y-intercept is 6. So if you put that into slope intercept form it becomes y = -1x + 6 and you can then drop the 1 and it becomes y = -x +6
