Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.
Solve for y.
6x - 2y = 18
-2y = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2 =
<-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x
Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.
y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9
Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.
So, 3 is the slope.

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y-intercept let x = 0, in the equation
6x - 3y = 15 → (1)
x = 0 : - 3y = 15 ⇒ y = - 5 ⇒ (0, - 5) ← y- intercept
x + 3y = - 8 → (2)
x = 0 : 3y = - 8 ⇒ y = - ⇒ (0, -
) ← y- intercept
