1/2 ( -3/2 + 6x + 1) - 3x
Simplify:
= 1/2 (-1/2 + 6x) - 3x
Apply distributive property:
= -1/4 + 3x -3 x
Simplify:
= -1/4

The slope intercept is equal to the rise/run.
So lets say to get from one point to the other, you go down 2 units and go right 3 units.
Since you went down it is a -2. If you had gone up 2 units, then it would be a positive 2.
Since you went to the right, it is a positive 3. If you had gone left 3 units, then it would be -3.
-2/3
