The equation of a function in the form y = mx + b represents a straight line on a graph, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
In the given equation y = 2x - 6, the coefficient of x is 2, which represents the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope is 2.
The y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero.
Substituting x = 0 into the equation y = 2x - 6:
y = 2(0) - 6
y = -6
Therefore, the y-intercept of the function is -6.
