SOLUTION: How do I convert to slope intercept form to graph? I know that y=mx+b but in the example Y=X-6 how would I go about this? y=x-6 as I am at a total loss.

Graph:
Comparing this with the slope-intercept form:
you can see that the slope, m = 1, and the y-intercept, b = -6.
To graph this linear equation, you can place a point at the y-intercept (0, -6) and another point at (6, 0). This second point comes from setting y = 0 in your equation and solving for x.
Add 6 to both sides.

Thus, the point (6, 0)
Then you draw a straight line through these two points.
Here's the graph:
