Answer

The slope and y-intercept of the equation of the line are: $2x+3y+6=0$ $-\frac{2}{3}$ and -2.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given equation of the line: $2x+3y+6=0$ Comparing the given equation with the general slope-intercept form, we get: $y=mx+c$ Slope $=-\frac{2}{3}$ Now, to find the y-intercept, substitute $x=0$ in the given equation: $\begin{align} & 2\left( 0 \right)+3y+6=0 \\ & y=\frac{-6}{3} \\ & y=-2. \end{align}$
