The slope intercept form: y = -x + 6
In standard form, we have: x + y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The points: (8,-2)and(12,-6)
The slope intercept formula:
where m = slope and c = intercept
m = change in y/ change in x
To get the intercept, insert the value of x and y using any of the points:
using point (8, -2) = (x, y)
y = -1x + c
-2 = -(8) + c
-2 = -8 + c
-2+8 = c
c = 6
y = -1(x) + 6
Equation of line with slope -1 and intercept 6
The slope intercept form: y = -x + 6
2) In standard form: Ax + By = C
In our derived equation, A = -1, B = 1 and c = 6
y + x = 6
x + y = 6
In standard form, we have: x + y = 6
