See below

$y=(-7)/6x-2/3$

$7x+6y=−4" "$ needs to be put into this form so first subtract $7x$ from both sides
$7x+6y-7x=−4-7x" "$ this makes the equation $6y=-7x-4$

Now divide both sides by $7" "$ to make the left side $y$
$(6y)/6=(-7x-4)/6$

$y=(-7)/6x-2/3$

What is the slope-intercept form of 7x + 6y = - 47x + 6y = - 4?
