the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
12x-6y = 18
0r
y+=+highlight_green%282%29x+-+highlight%283%29 P(0, -3) and P(1,-1) on this line.

12x+-6y+=+18 first write it in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is a y-intercept
12x+-18+=+6y
12x%2F6+-18%2F6+=+y
2x+-3+=+y or
y=2x+-3+ => m=2 and b=-3;
so, a slope is m=2 y-intercept is (x, y) =(0,-3)
