Question

What is the slope of the line y+2=-2(x-3)

Answer 1

m = -2

Explanation:

This equation is in point-slope form

The numbers added or subtracted by a variable are a coordinate point.

y + 2 --> (0,-2)

x - 3 --> (3,0)

(3,-2)

The slope is represented by the number outside of the parentheses.

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

This equation is written in point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope

y- -2 = -2(x -3)

A point on the line is (-3, -2) and the slope is -2
