Can someone help me identify the slope and y-intercept?

Well we can make this into slope intercept form to make it easier

y = mx + b
'm' is slope
'b' is y-intercept

you have

6x + 2y = 12

Lets solve for 'y'

subtract 6x from both sides

2y = -6x + 12

now divide everything by 2 to isolate 'y'

2y = -6x + 12
-------------
2       2        2

y = -3x + 6

compare this to

y = mx + b

What is your slope...and what is your y-intercept...?

my slope would be -3 and my y intercept would be 6? Is that right @johnweldon1993
