Explanation: Linear equations can be written in the form y = mx + b where the multiplier, m, or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line and the b is your constant term which represents the y-intercept of the line

This linear equation has a slope equal to -4 since it's

the coefficient of the number in front of your variable.

This equation has a y-intercept that is equal to 6 since it's

in the place of the b in the equation y = mx + b.
