write the slope of a line that is parallel to each line 3x+y=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for y via \[y=-3x+10\] so your slope is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Satellite, after your done with this can you come back to my question..I have questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if you solve for y you have to subtract 3x from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a negative because you subract 3 on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so what would be the answer to this? y=-x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no your slope in that case would be -1 visualize \[y=-1x+2\]
