Slope of #2x+3y=6# is #-2/3# and intercept on #y# axis is #2#

Explanation:

To find the slope and intercept to graph #2x+3y=6#, we need to convert the equation in slope-intercept form #y=mx+c#, where #m# is slope and #c# is its intercept on #y# axis.

So, #2x+3y=6# gives us #3y=-2x+6#

or dividing all by #3#, #y=-2/3x+2#

Hence, slope of #2x+3y=6# is #-2/3# and intercept on #y# axis is #2#.
