Answer: Slope = -3/4

Explanation:

Background information

The given equation [y = -3/4x + 2] is in the form of slope-intercept form of linear equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is where one side contains just [y]. So, it will look like: y = mx + b where [m] is the slope and [b] is the y-intercept.

Match the given equation with the base form of the equation

y = (-3/4)x + 2

y = m x + b

Finalize the match result

m = -3/4

b = 2

Therefore, the slope of the equation [y = -3/4x + 2] is
\boxed{-(3)/(4) }

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
