Answer

As we can see from the equation, the slope is $-4$ and the y-intercept is $6$.

Work Step by Step

The equation is given in the slope-intercept form, which is given by the equation: $$y = mx + b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Let us rearrange the equation so it is easier for us to see the slope and y-intercept. $$y = -4x + 6$$ As we can see from the equation, the slope is $-4$ and the y-intercept is $6$.
