Chapter 3 - Graphing Linear Functions - 3.5 - Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form - Exercises - Page 142: 20

Answer

The slope is $-1$, and the $y-$ intercept is $-6$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow x+y=-6$ Subtract $x$ from each side. $\Rightarrow x+y-x=-6-x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=-x-6$ The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ $y-$intercept is $b=-6$. The slope is $m=-1$ Hence, the slope is $-1$, and the $y-$ intercept is $-6$.
