Question

Multiple choice
The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

y = −4x + 9

What is the slope of the equation?

−9
−4
4
9

Answer 1

y = mx + b

Do you know what the m and b stand for?

Answer 2

B is your y intersect and M is your slope.

Answer 3

So, y = mx + b
What's your slope?

Answer 4

lol nope i have no idea what ur talking about.

Answer 5

The equation you are using here is Y=mx+b
Y and X are your variables
M and B are there in place of numbers.
So in this situation- \[y = −4x + 9 \]
What is in the place of M?

Answer 6

\[y=mx+b\]
\[y=-4x+9\]

Answer 7

What is M if you compare the 2 expressions I put up? :)

Answer 8

Okay, let's make it easier.
\[y = ~mx + b\]
\[y = -4x +9\]

Answer 9

What's in the place of M?

Answer 14

personally, i think it is -4

Answer 15

And why do you think that?

Answer 16

i have a gut feeling about it.

Answer 17

You are correct because -4 is in the place of M in the y=Mx+b formula. :)

Answer 18

Your gut's not going to give you anything other than diarrhea.

Answer 19

Do you understand the question now? :)
