Question

What is the slope of the line y = $negative 2 over 3 x ?$

$- \frac{2}{3}$
0
$\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{3}{2}$

hint Hint:

Slope of a line (m) with equation y = mx + c is the rate of change of y-coordinates for a given change in the x-coordinates.

The correct answer is: $negative 2 over 3$

GIVEN-
y = -2/3x
TO FIND-
Slope = m
SOLUTION-
We know that equation of a line in slope intercept form can be written as y = mx + c, where m = slope and c = y-intercept.
Comparing the given equation i.e. y = -2/3x with y = mx + c, we get-
Slope = m = -2/3
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. '-2/3' is the correct answer to the given question.
