to find the slope write equation in slope intercept form, solve for y
-%281%2F2%29x-y=3%2F4
-%281%2F2%29x-3%2F4=y...switch the sides


y=-%281%2F2%29x-3%2F4
=> slope is -%281%2F2%29
=> y-intercept is -3%2F4

put into slope intercept form and read slope directly.

-y=x%2F2%2B3%2F4
y=-x%2F2-3%2F4
y=highlight%28-%281%2F2%29%29x-3%2F4
