Question

What is the slope of the graph of 14x + 7y = –9?

A.2


B.-2


C.-1/2


D.1/2

Answer 1

For an equation in standard form, that is, \(ax + by = c\)

Slope is given by: \(\huge \frac{\text{- Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}\)

Answer 2

That is Negative sign \((-)\) in front..

Answer 3

That is:
\[Slope = - \frac{a}{b}\]
