$4y-6x+12=0\\ 4y=6x-12\\ y=(6)/(4)x-(12)/(4)\\ y=(3)/(2)x-3\\\\\\ m=(3)/(2)$

Convert the equation to the slope-intercept form.

$4y-6x+12=0 \\ 4y=6x-12 \ \ \ |/ 4 \\ y=(6)/(4)x-(12)/(4) \\ y=(3)/(2)x-3$

In the
y=mx+b

form,

is the slope.

$y=(3)/(2)x-3 \\ m=(3)/(2)=1(1)/(2)$

The slope is equal to
1 (1)/(2)
