I need help with writing an equation in slope intercept form for the following line:
line xy has a y intercept of 6 and an x intercept of -6
------
You have 2 points:: (0,6) and (-6,0)
-----
Slope = (6-0)/(0--6) = 6/6 = 1
-----
Form: y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
------
Ans: y = x + 6
