Answer:

The slope is -6 and the y intercept is -7

Explanation:

-12x - 2y =14

Add 12x to each side

-12x+12x - 2y =12x+14

-2y = 12x+14

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = 12x/-2 +14/-2

y = -6x -7

This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -6 and the y intercept is -7
