Answer:

r = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have the slope m = 2/3 and the points (-4, 3) and (r, -3). Substitute:

[tex]\dfrac{-3-3}{r-(-4)}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-6}{r+4}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]        cross multiply

[tex]2(r+4)=(-6)(3)[/tex]        divdide both sides by 2

[tex]r+4=(-3)(3)[/tex]

[tex]r+4=-9[/tex]       subtract 4 from both sides

[tex]\boxed{r=-13}[/tex]
