Answer: 6 is the slope and 4 is the y-intercept.

Explanation:

Based on the question, I feel this is the best way to answer your question. I'm assuming you are in a basic graphing class.

The best, most useful thing for you right now would be to learn slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m and b are constants.

Simply add 6x to both sides to get into this form

y = 6x + 4.

In slope-intercept form, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Thus, 6 is the slope and 4 is the y-intercept.

Hope it helps and lmk if you need more <3 :)
