ANSWER

A.

[tex] - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

[tex]y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3[/tex]

This equation is already in the form:

[tex]y =mx + b[/tex]

This is called the slope-intercept form.

The slope is

[tex]m = - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

and the y-intercept is 3.

The correct answer is A.

In a situation where the line is not given in the slope intercept form, then you must rewrite in this form before comparing.
