Question

What is the slope of a line defined by the equation 3x + y = -4?

Answer 1

Hi, cassb115! I think it's -3 as the slope.. :)

Answer 2

Change the equation to slope intercept form to obtain the slope.
3x + y = -4
Subtract 3x from both sides.
3x + y = -4
-3x -3x
y = -3x - 4 <=== In slope intercept form.
^ ^
Slope y - intercept
So, the slope is -3. (:
