Answer:

slope = - 2, y- intercept = - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 6x + 3y = - 3 into this form by subtracting 6x from both sides

3y = - 6x - 3 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - 2x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2 and y- intercept c = - 1
