Explanation:

y = -2/3 - 5x

rearranging,

y = -5x -2/3

comparing to the gradient-intercept equation

y = mx + c

m = -5

c = -2/3

Therefore, the slope of the line is -5

Answer: -5

Explanation:

Because you know that y=Mx+p right?

So you just take the equation : -2/3-5x and you know that the number before x is m = the slope . Have a nice rest of your day :)
