    -4

    first you add 12x to both sides so it cancels out on the left

    divide the whole equation by - 3 to get y by itself and put the equation in y=mx+b form

    y=-4x - 7

    -4 is the slope

    -4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -12x-3y=21

    We need to solve the equation for y to get it in slope intercept form

    Add 12x to each side

    -12x+12x-3y=12x+21

    -3y = 12x+21

    Divide each side by - 3

    -3y/-3 = 12x/-3 + 21/-3

    y = - 4x - 7

    This is in slope intercept form (y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

    -4 is the slope and - 7 is the y intercept
