y-intercept = 3

Slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$ (m = slope and b = y-intercept)

We have to rearrange $3y=-6x+9$ into slope-intercept form:

$3y=-6x+9$ (Divide both sides by 3)

$y=-2x+3$

Slope = -2 (which is m)
y-intercept = 3 (which is b)

How do you find the slope and y intercept for 3y = -6x + 93y = -6x + 9?
