m=
b= find the slope and y intercept for the given equation:

x + y = 6

m=
b= @Mathematics

Answer 1

m = -1
b = 6

Answer 2

How did you get this?

Answer 3

y = -1x + 6

Answer 4

Ok thanks.

Answer 5

rearrange to the form y = mx + c

Answer 6

tw

Answer 7

2x + 5y = 8

Answer 8

5y = -2x + 8
2 8
y = - --- x + ----
