The slope of Line M (y = 2/3x - 3) is 2/3. To figure out the slope of Line N, you need to use the equation:

m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Choose any two points on the table, I chose (-2, -2) and (4, 2). Plug in and solve:

m = (2-(-2))/(4-(-2)) = (2+2)/(4+2) = (4)/(6) = (2)/(3)

So, they do indeed have the same slope of 2/3. Therefore, the answer must be A.
