2x + 3y + 6 = 0 \\ \\3y=-2x-6 /:3\\ \\y=-(2)/(3)x-(6)/(3)\\ \\y=-(2)/(3)x-2


Answer : \ is \ your \ slope : \ \ m = -(2)/(3)

-2/3. You take 3y and move it to the opposite side. Then you would take the three from the 3Y and divide everything by three, so you get -2/3x+2=Y then you look at what the coefficient is in front of X and X equals -2/3, which is your slope.
