Answer:

The slope m = -2

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation in the standard form:


6x+3y=12

Convert to the slope intercept form:


6x+3y=12 subtract 6x from both sides


3y=-6x+12 divide both sides by 3


y=-2x+4

slope: m = -2

y-intercept: b = 4
