2x + 6y = 12
2x - 2x + 6y = 12 - 2x
6y = 12 - 2x
6y/6 = 12/6 - 2x/6
Y = 2 - 2/6 X
Y = 2 - 1/3 X or
Y = -1/3 X + 2.

To find the slope you use the equation:
m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)
You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)
m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)
m = 1 ÷ (-2)
m = - 1/2
Next you use this equation:
y = mx + b
Because you know m you plug it in.
y = -1/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)
y = -1/2x + b
1 = -1/2(0) + b
1 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = -1/2x + 1
