Question

What’s the slope?
a line has the given equation y=-3x-10

Answer 1

Answer: slope= -6.0/2.0= -3.0

Explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -10.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -16.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -16.000 - (-10.000) = -6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

x-intercept = -10/3 = -3.33333

y-intercept = -10/1 = -10.00000

Answer 2

Answer: -3

Step by Step Explanation: This type of equation is called slope-intercept form, y=mx+b; the slope is m, so the slope is -3
