Answer:

-3/2

Explanation:

We need to get the line into

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

To do this, we need to isolate y

Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+2y=4

2y= -3x+4

Divide both sides by 2

y= -3/2x+2

Now it is

y=mx+b

And we can determine the slope.

y=-3/2x+2

Since -3/2 is being multiplied by x, it is the slope

Slope: -3/2

Hope this helps! :)
