What is the slope of y=-2x-3

Think of it in terms of the general equation for a line:


y=mx+c

Where
m is the slope.

If you are given
y=-2x-3 then, the -2 must be the
m.

Therefore, the slope for the line is -2.

The slope of the line would be -2.

And remember. The one rule to find the slope of two given points is: y=mx+b
