we are given the following equation


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

we are asked to find the slope of the line. To do that let's first remember the general form of a line equation, that is:


y=mx+b

where "m" represents the slope, and "b" the y-intercept. This means that in the slope-intercept form, the slope is the number that multiplies the "x" variable, and the y-intercept is the constant. In the given equation, the number that multiplies the "x" is -3/2, therefore, the slope of that line is -3/2.
