Answer 2

since it's -y, first flip the sign on both sides to get the standard form of y=

Answer 3

so y=-3x in this case

Answer 4

The slope is defined as how much the value of 'y' (the vertical axis) increases for each step of 'x' (the horizontal axis)

Answer 5

isn't the y already in it's Y intercept form?

Answer 6

yes, when it's y= then it is

Answer 7

slope intercept form is y = mx + b
where m = slope
and b = y-intercept

the negative in the -y = 3x crowds the y
so as zimmah said, multiply both sides by a negative 1
to get y = -3x which is now in slope intercept form :)

Answer 8

oh ok

Answer 9

I get that part now how do we figure out the slope?

Answer 10

If you take any value for x, and then increase the value of x by 1, and subtract the outcome of both of them, that's the answer.

Answer 11

well slope from an equation in slope intercept form y = mx + b
m would be the slope

so for example, if you have y = -2x
-2 would have been the slope

Answer 12

So for example if you have x=0 then y=-3*0
and for x=0 then y=-3*0

Answer 13

oh I see thank you both very much!!! :D

Answer 14

the last one should be x=1 y=3*1 ofc

Answer 15

-3 even lol

Answer 16

Glad we could help ^_^

Answer 17

no problem
