To find the slope and the y-intercept, the best way is to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.
The slope-intercept form is y=mx%2Bb where m=slope and b=y-intercept

Let's start!

6x-2y=2
6x-6x-2y=-6x%2B2
0-2y=-6x%2B2
-2y=-6x%2B2
%28-2y%29%2F%28-2%29=%28-6x%2B2%29%2F%28-2%29
y=3x-1

Therefore, the slope is m=3 and the y-intercept, b=-1
