Graph the equation I - y = 6 using the form y = ma + b. (1 point)

To graph the equation \( I - y = 6 \) in the form \( y = mx + b \), we need to first rearrange it.

Starting with the given equation:

\[
I - y = 6
\]

We can isolate \( y \) by moving it to one side:

\[
-y = 6 - I
\]

Now, multiply by -1:

\[
y = I - 6
\]

Now the equation is in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where:

- The slope \( m = 1 \)
- The y-intercept \( b = -6 \)

### To graph the equation:

1. **Y-Intercept**: Start at the point (0, -6) on the graph.
2. **Slope**: The slope of 1 indicates that for every 1 unit you move up on the y-axis, you move 1 unit to the right on the x-axis.

From the y-intercept (0, -6), you can plot another point by moving up 1 unit and right 1 unit to (1, -5).

3. Connect these points with a straight line, and extend the line across the graph.

The graph will be a straight line that crosses the y-axis at (0, -6) and rises to the right.
