Question

Find the slope of the line.
y = -3x

Answer 1

it's the number in front of the x

Answer 2

The answer is -3.

Answer 3

oh thanks...but what if there was a number infront of y too

Answer 4

You can isolate the y

Answer 5

2y = 3x
gives you
\[y = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x\]

Answer 6

solve for y and it will be the number in front of x.

ex. 2x + 3y = 6

solve for y

3y = -2x + 6

=> \(y = \frac{-2}{3}x +2\)

Answer 7

the slope is \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

Answer 8

thanks
