In other words, The slope of a line is the number in front of the x in the equation when it is in the proper slope intercept form.  In your equation <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=-%282%2F3%29x+%2B+3 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=-%282%2F3%29x+%2B+3\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >, the number in front of the x is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=-%282%2F3%29 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"-%282%2F3%29\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  Therefore, the slope is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=-%282%2F3%29 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"-%282%2F3%29\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > </SPAN>\n" );
