Answer:

Slope, m =
$ \frac{\textbf{-2}}{\textbf{3}} $.

Explanation:

The slope of the line can be determined by simplifying the given equation to its standard form.

In the standard form, y = mx + c, m represents the slope of the line.

We are given:
$ y - 2 = - (2)/(3)(x + 1) $


$ \implies y = -(2)/(3)x - (2)/(3) + 2 $


$ \implies y = - (2)/(3)x + ((-2 + 6))/(3) $


$ \implies y = -(2)/(3)x + (4)/(3) $

Comparing it with the standard equation, we can see that the slope, m =
$ \frac{\textbf{-2}}{\textbf{3}} $.

Hence, the answer.
