Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "-3x=6y+18" into this form"#
#"subtract 18 from both sides"#
#-3x-18=6y#
#"divide all terms by 6"#
#-1/2x-3=y#
#rArry=-1/2x-3larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-1/2" and y-intercept "=-3#
