Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation f(t)=2t−6? The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is −6. The slope is −6 and the y-intercept is 2. The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 6.

Answer 1

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is −6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`f(t) = 2t - 6`

Required

Determine the slope and y intercept

The general form of an equation is:

`f(x) = mx + b`

Where

`m = slope`

`b = y\ intercept`

By comparing
`f(t) = 2t - 6` to
`f(x) = mx + b`

`m = 2`

`b = -6`

Hence, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is −6
