The slope, $m = - \frac{3}{2}$ $m = -3/2$ and the y-intercept, $c = - \frac{1}{4}$ $c = -1/4$

Change the equation into the form $y = m x + c$ $y = mx + c$

$- 6 x - 1 = 4 y$ $-6x-1 = 4y$

$y = - \frac{6}{4} x - \frac{1}{4}$ $y = -6/4x -1/4$

$y = - \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{1}{4}$ $y = -3/2x -1/4$

$y = m x + c$ $y = mx +c$

The slope = -3/2 and the y-intercept = -1/4
