Answer:

-2 is the slope

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we need to solve for y

6x +3y = 12

Subtract 6x from each side

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

3y = -6x+12

Divide each side by 3

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

y = -2x+4

This is in slope intercept form

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

-2 is the slope and 4 is the y intercept
