1 answer

To find the equation of a linear function with a slope of 45 and a y-intercept of -6, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is given by:

\[ y = mx + b \]

where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Given:

  • Slope \( m = 45 \)
  • Y-intercept \( b = -6 \)

Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

\[ y = 45x - 6 \]

Now we can look at the responses given:

  1. \( 6x + 45y = 6 \)
  2. \( y = \frac{4}{5}x + 6 \)
  3. \( y = 45x - 6 \)
  4. \( y = \frac{4}{5}x - 6 \)
  5. \( y = -6x + 45 \)

Among the options, the correct equation that represents a linear function with the given slope and y-intercept is:

\( y = 45x - 6 \)

So the answer is option 3: \( y = 45x - 6 \).
