Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form m=-6 , b=6/5

$m = - 6$ , $b = \frac{6}{5}$

Step 1

Find the value of $b$ using the formula for the equation of a line.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Replace the known value of $m$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (- 6) \cdot x + b$

Step 3

Replace the known value of $b$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (- 6) \cdot x + \frac{6}{5}$

Step 4

Simplify the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = (- 6) \cdot x + \frac{6}{5}$

Multiply $- 6$ by $x$ .

$y = - 6 \cdot x + \frac{6}{5}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (- 6) \cdot x + \frac{6}{5}$

Multiply $- 6$ by $x$ .

$y = - 6 x + \frac{6}{5}$
