Graph the equation x - y = 6 using the form y = mx + b

1 answer

To graph the equation x - y = 6, we first need to rearrange it into the form y = mx + b.

x - y = 6
-y = -x + 6
y = x - 6

Now, we can see that the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m = 1 and b = -6.

This means that the slope of the line is 1 and the y-intercept is -6.

To graph the equation, we can start by plotting the y-intercept at (0, -6) and then using the slope of 1 to find another point on the line.

From the y-intercept (0, -6), we can move 1 unit to the right and 1 unit up to get another point on the line.

Plotting these two points and drawing a line through them, we get:
