Slope $= - \frac{2}{3}$ $=-2/3$

$y$ $y$ -intercept $= 7$ $=7$

The given equation

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 7$ $y=- 2/3x +7$

is in the slope-intercept form of a straight line equation, i.e.

$y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$

where

So according to this, the slope will be $- \frac{2}{3}$ $-2/3$ and the $y$ $y$ -intercept will be $7$ $7$ .
