C.2/3
D. 5


PLS HELP TY

Answer 1

-5 i think.....................

Answer 2

Option A The slope of the line is
`-5`

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

`y=mx+b`

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

`y=-(2)/(3)-5x`

Rewrite

`y=-5x-(2)/(3)`

therefore

`b=-(2)/(3)` -----> the y-intercept

`m=-5` ------> slope
