The slope is #2/3#

This equation is in the slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

#y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b# is the y-intercept value.

Therefore:

The slope of this line is #color(red)(m = 2/3)#

The y-intercept is #color(blue)(b = -4)#
