By knowing that p and 2/3 are additive inverses, we will see that p = -2/3
So two numbers A and B are additive inverses if:
A + B = 0
Here the two numbers are p and 2/3, so we have:
2/3 + p = 0
Solving this for p gives:
p = -2/3
Then the value of p is just -2/3.
Now, I can't "drag and drop" the labels in the given image, so I will post a little graph of where each point should be:
