You would find the slope by the y-intercept (y is up, x is down)
y intercept: (0, 6)
x-intercept: (3, 0)

OK, THANKS

brainzonly · Answer

You have to go down 12 to get to the same level as the x-intercept. This means that the slope will be negative. 
Then, you have to go across 6.
this makes
Slope equals:$$-\frac{ 12 }{ 6 }$$ which is simply -2.
Slope= -2
