True or false 3x+2y=5 has a slope -2/3

That is false because when you move 3x to the other side and then you divide by 2 you should be getting -3/2
Y=-3/2+2.5

well let's do some maths
let's set this into a slope intercept for
where the function is equal to y
2y= 5 - 3x
dividing both sides by 2 would get you
y = 5/2 -3/2x
the slope in this case
would be
-3/2
not -2/3
