Answer:
y = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{1-6}{6-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-5}{6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6 ) ⇒ c = 6
y = - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + 6 ← equation of line
