1. **State the problem:** We need to find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation $$2y + 6 = 4x$$.
2. **Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:** The slope-intercept form is $$y = mx + b$$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Isolate $y$:**
$$2y + 6 = 4x$$
Subtract 6 from both sides:
$$2y + 6 - 6 = 4x - 6$$
$$2y = 4x - 6$$
4. **Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $y$:**
$$\cancel{2}y = \frac{4x - 6}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$y = \frac{4x}{2} - \frac{6}{2}$$
$$y = 2x - 3$$
5. **Identify slope and y-intercept:**
- Slope $m = 2$
- Y-intercept $b = -3$
**Final answer:** The slope is $2$ and the y-intercept is $-3$.
