$- \frac{2}{5}$ $-2/5$

here,

$6 y = - 8 y - 14 x + 13$ $6y=-8y-14x+13$

$or, 8 x + 6 y + 14 y - 13 = 0$ $or,8x+6y+14y-13=0$

$or, 8 x + 20 y - 13 = 0$ $or,8x+20y-13=0$

comparing this equation with $a x + b y + c = 0$ $ax+by+c=0$ we get,
$a = 8$ $a=8$
$b = 20$ $b=20$
$c = - 13$ $c=-13$
we know,

slope of a line, $m = \frac{- a}{b}$ $m=(-a)/b$

by putting the value of a and b in this equation, we get,

$m = \frac{- 8}{20}$ $m=(-8)/20$

$= - \frac{2}{5}$ $=-2/5$
