-2y=6%285-3x%29....write equation in slope-intercept form

-2y%2F-2=6%285-3x%29%2F-2

cross%28-2%29y%2Fcross%28-2%29=cross%286%293%285-3x%29%2F%28cross%282%29-1%29

y=3%285-3x%29%2F-1
y=-3%285-3x%29
y=-15%2B9x%29...rearrange terms
y=9x-15%29.........slope-intercept form


so, the slope is m=9 and y-intercept is -15
