What is the slope of the line that is represented by the equation y−15=−6(x+7)?






​

Answer 1

m = -6

Explanation:

Put this given equation into slope-intercept form:

y−15=−6(x+7) becomes y - 15 = -6x - 42.

Adding 15 to both sides results in y = -6x - 27,

and so the slope is -6. The y-intercept is -27, or (0, -27).

Answer 2

slope m = -6

Explanation:

y−15=−6(x+7)

y =−6(x+7) + 15

y =−6x +7(-6) + 15

y =−6x -42 + 15

y =−6x - 27

THis is in slope intercept form where slope m = -6
