To convert the equation \(-6x + 2y = -18\) into slope-intercept form (which is \(y = mx + b\)), we need to solve for \(y\).
1. Start with the original equation:
\[
-6x + 2y = -18
\]
2. Add \(6x\) to both sides:
\[
2y = 6x - 18
\]
3. Divide every term by \(2\) to isolate \(y\):
\[
y = 3x - 9
\]
Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) (the slope) is \(3\) and \(b\) (the y-intercept) is \(-9\).
