Answer

Slope: $2$ $y$-intercept: $(0,-6)$

Work Step by Step

Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form. $6x-3y=18$ $-3y=-6x+18$ $y=2x-6$ The slope is the coefficient of $x$, and the constant term that is added is the $y$ value in the $y$-intercept of $(0,y)$. Slope: $2$ $y$-intercept: $(0,-6)$
