Answer:

The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is -3

Explanation:

To find the slope and the y intercept, we need to get it in the form

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

Solve for y

2y+x = -6

Subtract x from each side

2y+x-x = -x-6

2y =-x-6

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -1/2x -6/2

y = -1/2x -3

The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is -3
