We have a equation of a line and want to find the slope and the interception with the y-axis.

We need to write our equation in the form:


y=m\cdot x+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.

So,


\begin{gathered} -6x+3y=12 \\ 3y=6x+12 \\ y=(6x+12)/(3) \\ y=(6)/(3)x+(12)/(3) \\ y=2x+4 \end{gathered}

So the slope m=2 and the y-intercept is b=4.

A graph of the line will be:
