Answer:

slope = -4 y-intercept = (0, 2)

Explanation:

12x + 3y = 6

-12x -12x

-----------------------------------------------

3y = -12x + 6

3y/3 = -12x/3 + 6/3

-----------------------------------------------

y = -4x + 2 ( this is in y = mx + b form, m representing the solpe and b representing the y-intercept)

This being said, the slope = -4 and the y-intercept = (0, 2).
