-2/3 is the slope, the reason we know this is because of the slope intercept form. This form says y=mx+b. This means m stands for the slope, and b is the y intercept.

Answer:

slope = m = -5.

Explanation:

y = mx + b

where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept

Given: y = -2/3 - 5x

m = -5

b = -2/3
