Answer:

-3/2 is your slope

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide -4 from both sides.

(-4y)/-4 = (6x + 6)/-4

y = (6x)/-4 + (6)/-4

y = (-3/2)x - (3/2)

Note the formula: y = mx + b, in which m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

-3/2 is your slope.

Answer:

the slope is -3/2

Explanation:

We need to get the equation in the form

y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

6x+6 = -4y

Divide by -4

-6x/-4 +6/-4 = -4y/-4

-3/2 x -3/2 = y

The slope is -3/2 and the y intercept is -3/2
