y-intercept would be $(0,-6)$ and the slope is $-4$

Answer 2 · 2018-06-19T23:14:06

slope $=-4$ and $y$ -intercept $=-6$

This equation of a line is in slope-intercept form and so we can find the numbers already expressed.

The general form of the slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$ -intercept.

For our question, $m=-4, b=-6$
