"slope "=-2/3" and y-intercept "=2slope =23 and y-intercept =2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in color(blue)"slope-intercept form"slope-intercept form is.

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

"Rearrange " 2x+3y=6" into this form"

subtract 2x from both sides.

cancel(2x)cancel(-2x)+3y=-2x+6

rArr3y=-2x+6

divide ALL terms on both sides by 3

(cancel(3) y)/cancel(3)=-2/3x+2

rArry=-2/3x+3larr" in form " y=mx+b

rArr"slope "=m=-2/3" and y-intercept "=b=2
