Question

what is the slope of a line defiened by the equation 3x+y=-4

Answer 1

use y=mX+b

Answer 2

m=slope

Answer 3

an easy way to do this is to solve for y, if you subtract 3x from both sides you get y=-3x-4
where the slope is the number infront of the x

Answer 4

would it be the same for 3x - y = 0?

Answer 5

yes but after subtracting 3x you need to divide by -1 too

Answer 6

divide what by 1

Answer 7

ok since when you subtract 3x you get -y=-3x
since you have -y it is not alone yet, you divide both -y and -3x by -1

Answer 8

ok thanks
