Find the Slope y=-2/3x-1

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 1$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ .

$y = - \frac{x \cdot 2}{3} - 1$

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$y = - \frac{2 x}{3} - 1$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{2}{3} x) - 1$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 1$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- \frac{2}{3}$ .

$m = - \frac{2}{3}$
