The slope is #-1/4#.

Here's how I did it:

#7/3y = 4/3y - x/4 + 1#

First, let's subtract #4/3y# from both sides of the equation:
#3/3y = -x/4 + 1#

#y = -x/4 + 1#

Now this equation is written in:

As you can see, the slope is the value in front of the #x#. In our case, that value is #-1/4#. Therefore, the slope is #-1/4#.

Hope this helps!
