slope: -18x
y intercept: 12

Explanation:

We must put your equation into y=mx+b form. To do this, we must use algebra!

4-1/3y=6x

Keep the y on the left side, and move everything else over. Don't forget to change their operation when moving an expression to its opposite side (positive to negative, or negative to positive).

-1/3y=6x-4

Next, to get y by itself, we must divide everything by -1/3.

(-1/3y)/(-1/3)=(6x)/(-1/3)(-4)/(-1/3)

There's your final equation in y=mx+b form! From here, you can easily spot the slope and y intercept.

y=-18x+12
