Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to 4x + y = -1?

Answer 1

the slope is -4

Answer 2

1/4

Answer 3

solve for y (get the variable y on one side of the equal sign). the number in front of x (called the coefficient of x) is your slope.

Answer 4

Parallel lines have the exact same slope as each other.
First what you want to do is put the equation into y = mx + b form (slope intercept)
Then put whatever slope you get as the answer! :D
