Hi,

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  

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

3x-6y=12  Solving for y to put into the slope-intercept form

3x - 12 = 6y

y = (3/6)x - 2  Or y = (1/2)x - 2    Pt(0,-2) and (4,0) points on the line

m = (1/2)  As y increases/decreases by 1, x increases/decreases by 2
