Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the equation x - y = 6

Rewrite in standard form;

-y = -x + 6

Multiply through by -1

-(-y) = -(-x) - 6

y = x - 6

Compare with the standard equation

mx = 1x

mx+b

m is the slope
