so the gradient is -2 and the $y$ intercept is -6

rearrange as the general equation for a straight line $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the gradient and $c$ is the $y$ intercept

$y=-2x-6$

so the gradient is -2 and the $y$ intercept is -6

How do you find the slope and y intercept for: 2x + y = -6 2x + y = -6 ?
