Answer 2

Answer:

Option 2 - $m=-\frac{2}{3}$ is the slope of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation $2x+3y=-12$

To find : What is the slope of the line represented by the equation ?

Solution :

The slope form of line is $y=mx+c$

Equation $2x+3y=-12$

Take 2x to another side,

$3y=-12-2x$

Divide 3 both side,

$y=\frac{-12-2x}{3}$

$y=\frac{-2}{3}x-4$

On comparing with general equation,

$m=-\frac{2}{3}$ is the slope of the equation.

Therefore, option 2 is correct.
