To rewrite the equation \( x - y = 6 \) in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), we need to solve for \( y \).
Starting with the original equation:
\[
x - y = 6
\]
We can isolate \( y \) by moving \( x \) to the right side:
\[
-y = -x + 6
\]
Now, multiply by -1 to flip the signs:
\[
y = x - 6
\]
Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form: \( y = x - 6 \).
### To check if the points (0, -6) and (1, -5) are on the graph:
1. For the point \( (0, -6) \):
\[
y = 0 - 6 = -6
\]
This point satisfies the equation.
2. For the point \( (1, -5) \):
\[
y = 1 - 6 = -5
\]
This point also satisfies the equation.
Both points are indeed on the graph of the equation \( y = x - 6 \).
