Answer:

$slope=-2\\\\y-intercept=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. To find the slope, you need to move vertically from a given point. Once you are horizontal to another point, move over to it. Count the spaces between each:

Start at (0,6)
Move down to (0,4). Since you moved down two spaces, use the value -2 to define the rise
Move to the right to point (1,4). Since you moved to the right 1 space, use the value 1 to define the run.

Insert the values into $\frac{rise}{run}$ → $\frac{-2}{1}$

Simplify → $-2$

Therefore, the slope is -2.

The y-intercept is where $x=0$ and where the line crosses over the y-axis. The coordinate point where this happens is $(0,6)$ , so the y-intercept is 6.
