Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y =
= 2/3x - 3?

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

Your equation is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). The m in this equation is the slope. Your equation is below. The m-value is 2/3.

y = 2/3x - 3

The slope is 2/3.

Answer 2

2/3

Explanation:

The slope is simply the coefficient before the x in a linear equation. In this case, the coefficient before the x is 2/3. Thus, the slope is 2/3.

Note that -3 would be the y-intercept.
