Answer:

y = -6x -6

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form may be given as

y = mx + c where

m is the slope and c is the intercept

Hence given the equation

18x + 3y = -18

subtract 18x from both sides

3y = -18x - 18

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

y = -6x -6

This is the equation in the slope - intercept form with -6 as the slope and -6 as the intercept
