Your equation is already in the proper slope intercept form: y+=+mx+%2B+b, where m = the slope. 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 y=-%282%2F3%29x+%2B+3, the number in front of the x is -%282%2F3%29. Therefore, the slope is -%282%2F3%29
