Use the slope-intercept form to graph the equation.
-y = 3x - 6

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope-intercept form of an equation is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this equation, y = 3x - 6, the slope (m) is 3 and the y-intercept (b) is -6.

Therefore, the equation can be rewritten as:

y = 3x - 6

This is in the form y = mx + b, where m = 3 and b = -6.

The graph of this equation has a slope of 3 and y-intercept of -6.

Starting at the y-intercept of -6, we can plot a point. Then using the slope of 3, we can go up 3 units and to the right 1 unit to plot another point.

Continuing this pattern, we can plot more points and then draw a line through them to form the graph of the equation.

The correct answer is B. The slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this equation, the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -6. Therefore, the graph should pass through the y-axis at -6 and for every increase of one on the x-axis, the y-value should increase by 3. This is illustrated in choice B.
