First equation.2x= -3y+4 second equation. y+6=0

Question

Find the slope each equation is a separate problem. 

Answer 1

To get the slope the easiest way is to get the equation in slope intercept form y = mx + b where m is the slope

 

Your first equation is 2x = - 3y + 4 so solve for y

 

3y = -2x + 4 

y   = -2/3x + 4/3

 

Your slope is -2/3

 

Your second equation is y+6 = 0 and if you solve for y it is y = -6, ie the x is really 0*x which means the slope is 0
