Answer:

Option A The slope of the line is [tex]-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

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

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

[tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}-5x[/tex]

Rewrite

[tex]y=-5x-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]b=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex] -----> the y-intercept

[tex]m=-5[/tex] ------> slope
