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.

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Given

[tex]f(t) = 2t - 6[/tex]

Required

Determine the slope and y intercept

The general form of an equation is:

[tex]f(x) = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = slope[/tex]

[tex]b = y\ intercept[/tex]

By comparing [tex]f(t) = 2t - 6[/tex] to [tex]f(x) = mx + b[/tex]

[tex]m = 2[/tex]

[tex]b = -6[/tex]

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