1. The problem is to find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation $y = 6x - 7$. 2. The general form of a linear equation is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. 3. Comparing $y = 6x - 7$ to $y = mx + b$, we identify $m = 6$ and $b = -7$. 4. Therefore, the slope of the line is $6$ and the y-intercept is $-7$. Final answer: slope = 6, y-intercept = -7.
