slope =-6

y intercept =-3

x intercept =-1/2

Explanation:

the slope is the number before the x, so
slope =-6

the y intercept in the number added, so
y intercept =-3

the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis, so it's where the y value is zero. therefore, we can say that the equation equals zero, and solve for x.
0=-6x-3
3=-6x
-1/2=x
x intercept =-1/2
