Answer:
<h2>The slope m = -2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
<em />
We have the equation in the standard form:

Convert to the slope intercept form:
<em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 3</em>

slope: <em>m = -2</em>
y-intercept: <em>b = 4</em>
Answer: x = 13/3 or x = 4.33333....
Solution: ⅜x -1 +1 = ⅝ + 1
Simplify: ⅜x = 13/8
Multiply both sides by eight: 8 x ⅜x = 133 x 8 divided by 8
Simplify: 3x = 13
Divide both sides by three: 3x/3 = 13/3
Simplify: x = 13/3
