Question

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of -6?

A y = -6x - 1
B y = -x - 6
C y = x - 5
D y = x + 6

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Here m = - 1 and c = - 6 , then

y = - x - 6 → B

Answer 2

I say A, because of it both being negative & having a y intercept .
