A company’s profits (P) are related to increases in a worker’s average pay (x) by a linear equation. If the company’s profits drop by $1,500 per month for every increase of $450 per year in the worker’s average pay, what is the slope of the graph of the equation?

P=ax

you're looking for a in the equation

-1500=450x (1500 is negative because it's dropping price)

-1500/450=x

x=-3.33
