To solve this it helps to know two points of the equation. to solve for the slope of an equation use the formula $$m-\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }$$
The interscept means that the other axis coordinate is 0. for example y-intercept of 6 means that the x coordinate is 0 when y = 6

anonymous · Answer

that should be m= not m-

they tell you your x-int is -2
So the point would be (-2,0)
Then they tell you that your y-int is 6
So the point is (0,6)
Now you can simply use the gradient formula.
