Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line. Write the fractional answer in lowest terms.
y=(-4/2)x - (1/6)
the slope is...?
the y-intercept is...?
---------------------------------
slope = -4/2 = -2
intercept = (1/6)

---------------
The slope-intercept form is y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y=-4/2x-1/6 is in the slope-intercept form.
Assuming you mean y = (-4/2)x, the slope is -4/2, or -2.
The y-intercept is -1/6.
