See solution below:

This equation is in the slope intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y = m x + b$ $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $m$ $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $b$ $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

This equation is: $y = - \frac{2}{3} x - 1$ $y = color(red)(-2/3)x - color(blue)(1)$

Therefore:

The slope is $m = - \frac{2}{3}$ $color(red)(m = -2/3)$

The y-intercept is $b = - 1$ $color(blue)(b = -1)$ or $(0, - 1)$ $(0, -1)$
