Question

Write an equation of a line that has a y-intercept at (0, -6)

Answer 1

y=9999x-6.
y=-5x-6
y=x-6

Any line y=Cx-6

Answer 2

`y=x-6`

Explanation:

First to write this equation you will need to know slope intercept form which is the equation that the people that wrote this problem are presumably looking for. Slope intercept form can be simply written as
`y=mx+b` . The variable
`m` would be the slope while the variable
`b` would be the y -intercept.

So to find out this we would have to assume that m or the slope would have to be 1 so we would have
`y=1x+b` or
`y=x+b`.

Now we have the first half of the equation we can move on to the variable
`b` or the y-intercept (0,-6) . To find the variable
`b` we will just have to graph the point (0,-6) which as you can see from the picture is the y-intercept and that is -6 units below 0. So the final answer will be
`y=x-6`
