What is the slope of the line given by the equation below?

y + 5 = -22(x + 2)

How do i solve the equation, if you can show the steps of the problem it would be very helpful.
Thank You!

$$y-y_1 =m(x -x_1)$$ 
the given equation  is in point slope form 
where m  is slope 
$$(x_1 ,y_1)$$ given point

im still kinda confused..sorry

s4sensitiveandshy · Answer

compare the given equation with the one i posted above^^
what number is replaced by  m ?

yourboydusty · Answer

-22

s4sensitiveandshy · Answer

yes that's correct 
that's the slope of that equation.

yourboydusty · Answer

but how do i actually solve it

s4sensitiveandshy · Answer

solve for   what ?
do you want to rewrite it in slope intercept form ? which is   y=mx+b

yourboydusty · Answer

oh...wait i miss-read the question...sorry...thank you for the help :)

s4sensitiveandshy · Answer

np :) you don't have to solve for anything to find the slope from point slope form equation
