To easily find the slope and y intercept of the line, put it in slope intercept form by rearranging the variables around.

6x-7y = 2
6x - 7y + 7y = 2 + 7y
6x = 7y + 2
6x - 2 = 7y + 2 - 2
7y = 6x - 2
7y/7 = 6x/7 - 2/7
Y = 6/7(X) - 2/7

Y = 6/7x - 2/7
Slope = m = 6/7
Y intercept = b = -2/7
(0, -2/7).
