x−4, and the line's slope was m = \color{blue}{\frac{2}{3}}m=

.

The second line's equation was y = −2x + 3, and the line's slope was m = −2.

Explanation:In both cases, the number multiplied on the variable x was also the value of the slope for that line. This relationship always holds true: If the line's equation is in the form "y=", then the number multiplied on x is the value of the slope m.
