Have you considered solving for y, putting them in Slope-Intercept form?

Well, then solve for y and get it right.  There is nothing stopping you but your algebra.  Please show your work,

When trying to put into slope intercept form, you want to try to isolate y so it's y=.....
It'll look like this: y=mx+b. where m=slope

I'll show you the first and you can try the second on your own.

-4x+3y=3
+4x.       +4x
-----------------
3y=4x+3
--   --------
3.       3

y=4/3x +3/3
y=4/3x +1

Using y=mx+b with m=slope
You can see that 4/3 is the slope of this equation
