The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The given equation is
12x + 2y = 6
we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.
12x + 2y = 6
If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes
12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x
2y = 6 - 12x
2y = - 12x + 6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
y = - 6x + 3
Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,
slope = - 6
y intercept = 3
