The y-intercept and slope, respectively, of a straight line are given. Find the equation of the line.
-0 and $- 6.1$  
A)$y = 6.1$
B) $y = - 6.1$
C) $y = - 6.1 x$
D) $y = 6.1 \mathrm { x }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given the slope $-6.1$ and y-intercept $0$, the equation is $y = -6.1x + 0$, which simplifies to $y = -6.1x$.

The Y-Intercept and Slope, Respectively, of a Straight Line Are −6.1- 6.1−6.1

The Y-Intercept and Slope, Respectively, of a Straight Line Are $- 6.1$
