We need the form $y=m*x+b$

If you see that all numbers are even we can divide everything by $2$ :
$->3x-y=6$

Add $y$ to both sides:
$->3x-cancely+cancely=6+y$

Now, subtract $6$ from both sides:
$->3x-6=cancel6-cancel6+y$

$->y=3x-6$

What is the slope-intercept form of 6x - 2y = 12 6x - 2y = 12 ?
