we have 55x+20y=-6

REmember that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem we have

55x+20y=-6

so

isolate the variable y

20y=-55x-6

y=-(55/20)x-6/20

y=-2.75x-0.3

therefore

the answer is

slope=-2.75

y-intercept=-0.3
