Put into slope-intercept form: y+=+mx+%2B+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
..................................................
2x+-+3y+=+8
-3y+=+-2x+%2B+8
y+=+%282%2F3%29x+-+%288%2F3%29
Slope: (2/3)
Y-Intercept: (-8/3)

2X-3Y=8 OR -3Y=-2X+8 OR 3Y=2X-8 OR Y=2/3X-8/3 THEREFORE THE SLOPE IS 2/3 & THE Y INTERCEPT IS -8/3
