y + 2 = -6(x - 1)
y + 2 = -6x + 6
y = -6x + 4
slope is -6
y-intercept is 4

The 'slope-intercept' form is: y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
So, you want the y all by itself on one side of the equation, and on the other side, you want the x factor and a number (in this case, -6x + 4).
What this tells you is that when x is 0, y is 4, and for every increase of x by 1, y decreases by 6.

y= -6x+6-2
= -6x+4
* the gradient/ slope is the coefficient of x, so the slope is -6.
* y=mx+c, c is y - intercept, so y - intercept is 4.

y + 2 = - 6x + 6
y = - 6x + 4
Gradient(slope) m = - 6

y+2=-6(x-1)
y+2=-6x+6
y+2-2=-6x+6-2
y=-6x+4
