Key Concepts: point B lies on line K, and point C lies on line K
Since both points lie on line K, the slope between points B and C will be the same as the slope of line K.
To find the slope of line K, let's take the equation of line K (6y + 3x = -2), and rewrite it in slope y-intercept form (y = mx + b)
Take: 6y + 3x = -2
Subtract 3x from both sides to get: 6y = -3x - 2
Divide both sides by 6 to get: y = (-3/6)x - 2/6
Simplify to get: y = (-1/2)x - 1/3
So, line K has a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of -1/3
Answer: C

Draw the lines approximately in the x-y coordinate with the help of the slopes. Refer to the figure in attachment below.
J : y=\(\frac{2}{3}\)x-\(\frac{7}{6}\)
K : y=\(\frac{-x}{2}\)-\(\frac{1}{3}\)
L : y=-2x+5
Point B is the point of intersection of lines J and K. Point C is the point of intersection of lines K and L.
Hence BC lies on line K, which has a slope of \(\frac{-1}{2}\).
Answer \(\frac{-1}{2}\) (C).
