Do it like this one:
======================================
whats the slope of
2x-6y=18
--------------
Put the eqn in slope-intercept form y = mx + b
That means solve for y.
2x-6y=18
6y = 2x - 18
y = (1/3)x - 3
---
The slope is the coefficient of x.
m = 1/3
===============
The y-intercept is -3 or (0,-3)

Solve your equation for which is to say rearrange the equation according to the rules of algebra for linear equations so that it takes the form:



Once you have done that, the coefficient on (that is the value ) is the slope and the constant term, , is the -coordinate of the intercept,

Note that the -intercept is a point in and must be specified as an ordered pair. The fact that the point is an -intercept demands that the -coordinate be equal to zero.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
