$y = -2x+1 1/6" or " y = -2x+7/6$

$y - 2/3 = -2(x-1/4)$

Follow the usual process of simplifying - start by getting rid of the brackets.

$y - 2/3 = -2x+1/2$

Slope-intercept form is $" "y = mx +c" "$ so isolate the $y$ -term

$y= -2x+1/2+2/3" "larr$ add the fractions

$y = -2x +(3+4)/6$

$y = -2x+7/6" or " y = -2x+1 1/6$
