Question 352817


{{{x-y=6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-y=6-x}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{-y=-x+6}}} Rearrange the terms.



{{{y=(-x+6)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate y.



{{{y=((-1)/(-1))x+(6)/(-1)}}} Break up the fraction.



{{{y=x-6}}} Reduce.



So the equation {{{y=x-6}}} is now in slope intercept form {{{y=mx+b}}} where the slope is {{{m=1}}} and the y-intercept is {{{b=-6}}} note: the y-intercept is the point *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,-6\right)]
