Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line y=x+6

Answer 1

The answers are:

slope = 1 ; y intercept = 6

Work/explanation:

In slope intercept equations, such as this one, the slope is the number that appears before x.

When we don't see a number before x, it means that the slope is 1.

So slope = 1. As for the y intercept, it's the constant, which is 6.

So the y-intercept = 6

Answer 2

slope = 1 , y- intercept = 6

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1 and y- intercept c = 6
