I think none of these are right. It's Y=-5/3x +4/3

ANSWER


- (5)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation

The given line has equation


3y + 5x = 4

Rewrite the equation in the form:


y = mx + b

Add -5x to both sides.


3y + 5x - 5x = - 5x + 4


3y = - 5x + 4

Divide through by 3.


y = - (5)/(3)x + (4)/(3)

Comparing to the slope intercept formula,


m = - (5)/(3)

The slope is


- (5)/(3)
