answer :

- 2 / 3

explanation :

Use slope - intercept form to find the slope.

Slope - intercept form : y = mx + b

KEY

m = slope

b = y - intercept

y =( -2/3X )+ ( 5 )

mx b

Answer:

The slope is
-(2)/(3).

Explanation:

The equation is conveniently in slope-intercept form.


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

-2/3 is in m's spot, so it is the slope of the equation.


y=\boxed{m}x+b\\\\y=\boxed{-(2)/(3)}x+5

Hope this helps.
