If the equation of the line is 6x - 4y = 10, what is the slope?

-3/2
-2/3
2/3
3/2

The correct answer is: -2/3

To find the slope of a linear equation, we can rearrange it into slope-intercept form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope. Therefore, in the given equation, we first need to isolate the y variable by moving the 6x to the right side of the equation and then dividing both sides by -4. This results in the equation y = (3/2)x - (5/2). Hence, the slope of the line is 3/2. The correct option is B. For the other options A: -3/2 - This is the negative of the correct slope and is incorrect. C: 2/3 - This is the inverse of the correct slope and is also incorrect. D: 3/2 - This is the reciprocal of the correct slope and is also incorrect.
