Answer 1

They gave you the equation in slope intercept form :)

where \( y = mx + b \)
and \(m\) is the slope

Answer 2

exactly

Answer 3

so what do you think it is @kool_22?

Answer 4

2

Answer 5

not quite :)

compare y = -3x + 2
to y = mx + b
^ what does "m" line up with?

Answer 6

-3

Answer 7

The correct answer is -3.

Answer 8

that's right :)
