Answer:
=(2)/(3)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in intercept form is given by:-


y=mx+c, where m is the slope of line and c is the y-intercept.

(1)

Given : Equation of line :
3y = 2x - 3

Transform above equation into slope -intercept form by dividing 3 on both sides , we get


y=(1)/(3)(2x-3)


y=(2)/(3)x-1 (2)

Comparing (1) and (2), we get


m =(2)/(3)

Hence, the slope of the line
=(2)/(3)

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form by isolation the y value:

3y = 2x - 3

To isolate Y divide all terms by 3:

y = 2x/3 - 3/3

y = 2/3x -1


The slope is the value with x

Slope = 2/3
