Question

What is the slope of the line given by the equation y + 2 = −3(x − 7)?

Answer 1

well the slope is the value outside the brackets

Answer 2

Well, this is the same equation from earlier so we have y = -3x +19 from there. The slope is the m value is the equation y = mx+b so the m value would be -3 therefore the slope is -3

Answer 3

the point slope formula is

\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]

m = slope
