What is the slope of the line represented by the equation f(t)=2t−6?

Question

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is −6.
The slope is −6 and the y-intercept is 2.
The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 6.
The slope is 6 and the y-intercept is 2.

Answer 1

The equation \( f(t) = 2t - 6 \) is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is \( y = mt + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

From the equation:

• The slope \( m \) is 2.
• The y-intercept \( b \) is -6.

Therefore, the correct statement is: The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -6.
