Answer

The slope of the line given is $m=-\dfrac{2}{5}$ and its $y$-intercept is $(0,6)$

Work Step by Step

$y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x+6$ The equation of this line is in slope-intercept form. This form is $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $b$ is its $y$-intercept. In this case, $m=-\dfrac{2}{5}$ and $b=6$ The slope of the line given is $m=-\dfrac{2}{5}$ and its $y$-intercept is $(0,6)$ The graph is shown below:
