Answer: -2/3 x OR 2/3x

Explanation:

If the equation is 2x+3y=-12:

2x+3y=-12

-2x -2x

3y=-2x-12

/3 /3

y=-2/3x-12

In a y=mx+b equation, slope is mx, which is -2/3x

If the equation is 2x-3y=-12:

2x-3y=-12

-2x -2x

-3y=-2x-12

/-3 /-3

y=2/3x-12

In a y=mx+b equation, slope is mx, which is 2/3
