Answer:

Slope = 1

y-intercept = -2

Equation: y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following coordinates;

(6, 4) and (2, 0)

Get the slope

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Slope = 0-4/2-6

Slope = -4/-4

Slope = 1

Get the y -intercept:

Substitute B(6,4) and m = 1 into y = mx+b

4 = 1(6) + b

4 = 6 +b

b = 4-6

b = -2

Get the required equation

Recall that y = mx+b

y = 1x + (-2)

y = x - 2

This gives the required equation
