Answer:

m=2/3

Explanation:

The slope of a linear equation is the coefficient thats multiply the "x", when the Linear equation is in the form y=mx+b.

So you have to express your equation in the form y=mx+b.

4x-6y=8

4x-8=6y

Now we divide both sides of the equation by 6

(4/6)x-(8/6)=y

Finally the number thats multiply x is 4/6 thats is equal to 2/3

Answer:


Slope=(2)/(3)

Explanation:

4x - 6y = 8 ⇔ - 6y = -4x + 8 ⇔ y = 4/6x - 8/6 ⇔ y = 2/3x - 4/3
