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

Responses

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

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

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

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

1 answer

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

In this equation:

  • The slope (the coefficient of \( x \)) is \(-1\).
  • The y-intercept (the constant term) is \(6\).

Therefore, the correct response is:

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