Verified Answer :

The slope is the bit attached to the x:

In this case, it is -5.

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is equal to

\(y=mx+b\)

where

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept of the line (the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

we have

\(y=-\frac{2}{3}-5x\)

In this problem

\(b=-\frac{2}{3} \\\\ m=-5\)

therefore

the answer is

the slope of the line is equal to \(-5\)
