Graph the equation x−y=6 using the form y=mx+b.
A. An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes range from negative 10 to 10 in one unit increments. An upward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The upward slanting line passes through closed points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma negative 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 1 comma negative 5 right parenthesis.
B. A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranging from 11 to negative 11 in increments of 1. A line with arrows at both ends joins two plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 1 comma negative 10 right parenthesis.
C. An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through two plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis.
D. A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranging from 11 to negative 11 in increments of 1. A line with arrows at both ends joins two plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis.

This represents the graph of the equation x−y=6 in the form y=mx+b.
For example, if we have the ratios 2:3 and 4:6, they are in proportion because 2/3 = 4/6 = 2/3. This means that the value of the two ratios is the same, and they are in proportion.
In general, a proportion can be written in the form a/b = c/d, where a, b, c, and d are integers and b and d are not equal to 0.
