4x - 6y = -36
-6y = -4x - 36
y = 4/6x - 6
y = 2/3x - 6
slope is 2/3

The classic slope equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope. So 4x+36=6y and y=2/3 x + 6. The slope is 2/3.

The KEY to finding the slope is to solve for Y by doing the exact opposite of what's being done right now.
1) Subtract 4X from both sides giving you -6Y = -4X + 36
2) Divide both sides by -6 giving you Y = 4/6 X + 36. And since 4 and 6 are both divisible by 2, you could reduce 4/6 down to 2/3, which would be your slope.

writing the eqn in the form of y = mx + c
we get -6y = -4x -36
or, y = 2/3x +6
thus, the slope for the given eqn is 2/3
