Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation below?y=-2/3x+3 A-2/3 B. 2/3 C.2 D.x

Answer 1

A.

`- (2)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation

The given equation is

`y = - (2)/(3)x + 3`

This equation is already in the form:

`y =mx + b`

This is called the slope-intercept form.

The slope is

`m = - (2)/(3)`

and the y-intercept is 3.

The correct answer is A.

In a situation where the line is not given in the slope intercept form, then you must rewrite in this form before comparing.
