A line has an equation of y=−x+6 . What are the slope and y -intercept?(1 point)

There is no slope, and the y-intercept is 6.

The slope is −1, and the y-intercept is 6.

The slope is 1, and the y-intercept is 6.

The slope is 6, and the y-intercept is −1

1 answer

The equation of the line is given as \( y = -x + 6 \).

In this equation, the general form is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

From the equation \( y = -x + 6 \):

  • The slope \( m \) is \(-1\).
  • The y-intercept \( b \) is \(6\).

Thus, the correct answer is: The slope is −1, and the y-intercept is 6.
