Certainly! Let’s find the equation of the line with a slope of -9 and a y-intercept of 6.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by:
[ y = mx + b ]
Where:
(m) represents the slope (steepness) of the line.
(b) represents the y-intercept, which is the value at which the line intersects the vertical axis (when (x = 0)).
Given that the slope (m) is -9 and the y-intercept (b) is 6, we can write the equation as:
[ y = -9x + 6 ]
So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is (y = -9x + 6).
