By slope I assume you mean gradient?

We know the general form of a straight line graph is

$y=mx+c$

where $m$ is the gradient
and $c$ is the y-intercept.

$therefore$ we have the equation $y=10/3 x-12$

Referring back to general equation we can deduce that

$c = -12$ and $m=10/3$

$m$ is the gradient (slope) $->$ gradient $= 10/3$
