Question

Please Help!!!
Find an equation of the line that has a slope of 6 and a y intercept of -9. Write your answer in the form y=mx+b .
How do I solve this for y?
y=?

Answer 1

see slop intercept form od a line
y = mx + c

Answer 2

m is slope nd c is intercept........put those values

Answer 3

@A.Avinash_Goutham So -9=6x + b ? How would I solve this now to get y?

Answer 4

noo............c is y intercept

Answer 5

So the answer is c? I'm lost @A.Avinash_Goutham

Answer 6

noo
y = 6x - 9

Answer 7

take ur time to solve things........dont give up soo easily

Answer 8

So the answer is y=6x-9 ? So I'm not solving just looking for an equation? Is that what I was suppose to do? @A.Avinash_Goutham

Answer 9

ur question is to look for the equation

Answer 10

That explains why I got it wrong lol I was trying to solve it... ;( Losing my mind I don't get slope !!!!! @Sriram @A.Avinash_Goutham

Answer 11

look u have to write the eq which satisfies the given conditions
y= mx +c
now m tells how y varies when x varies
m is called the slope (in ur case it is given 6)
and c is the value of y when x is 0 meaning the y intercept
(in ur case tis -9)
hence just write the eq again
y=mx +c
y= 6x + (-9)
y=6x-9
