What is the slope of the line? y= -3x + 8 slope = (I'm supposed to insert an answer. I have more questions if someone can help me)

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

wat do u think?

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

I dunno, replace x with 0?

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

nope

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

I don't really know, and this is why I asked for help. Okay, well I'm assuming you add 8 to both sides.

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

y=mx+b

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

ik im irrataing u soorry but i want to see wat the answer first

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

Yes.. that's the slope formula. but don't you have to find why and x before you do anything? @.@ I'm so confoosed.

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

no we aslready have everything

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

Okay well multiply y with 8?

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

No, -3x? Add y to both sides? Multiply y? subtract 8 from both sides??

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

noooooooooooo -3x is the slope

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

bc mx=slope

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

Okay yes. Well you do something with the slope with 8 right?

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

no bc thats the y-intercept

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

Okay well first you have to do -3x + 8?

OpenStudy (tamara7301):

no ur done

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

????

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):
