Answer:

2x + 3y = 12 Is the standard form for linear equations. To determine the slope, solve the equation for y in order to convert to the slope - intercept from7 y = mx + b where is m the slop and b is the y - intercept.

2x + 3y = 12

subtract 2x from both sides.

3y = -2x + 12

Divide both sides by 3.

y= - 2/3 x + 12/3 =

y= - 2/3x + 4

The slope is - 2/3
