You can put this solution on YOUR website!
to find the slope of the line with the equation 2x+%2B+3y+%2B+6+=+0 write it in a slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is y-intercept
2x+%2B+3y+%2B+6+=+0
2x+-2x%2B+3y+%2B+6+=+0-2x
+3y+%2B+6+=+-2x
+3y+%2B+6-6+=+-2x-6
+3y++=+-2x-6
+3y%2F3++=+-2x%2F3-6%2F3
+y+=+-%282%2F3%29x-2
so, a slope is m=-%282%2F3%29
your answer is:
D.+-2%2F3
