Answer: 2/3

/Step-by/-step explanation: What you're looking at there is slope intercept form which is given by the general equation y=mx+b. Like any equations in this form, m=the slope of the line (rise in y values over run of x value) and b is the y-intercept - the point where the line will cross the y axis. In your equation, the slope is 2/3 because it is attached before the x and means that for every time your line increases by two values in the vertical direction, it will also increase 3 values in the horizontal direction.
