Question 8 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS GEOMETRY OC (FALL2026) - 793413

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation f(t)=2t−6?

Answer
A
The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is −6.
B
The slope is −6 and the y-intercept is 2.
C
The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 6.
D
The slope is 6 and the y-intercept is 2.

Explanation

A linear equation is often written in slope-intercept form as f(t) = mt + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In f(t) = 2t − 6, the coefficient of t is 2, so the slope is 2, and the constant term is −6, so the y-intercept is −6. This matches choice A.
