Hello, hope you are having a nice day. :)

y=2x+6

This equation is written in slope-intercept form, which looks like so:

y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

As we can see, it's easy to find the slope when the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form.

For this line, -2 is the slope, and 6 is the y-intercept.

I hope it helps you. Ask me if you have any queries.

Answer:

slope = -2

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation:

y = -2x + 6

therefore

m = -2

b = 6
