Question

4) What is the slope of the line graphed by the equation y = (-⅓)x - 3?

(A) (-1/3)
(B) -3
(C) (1/3)
(D) 3

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope
y=-1/3x-3

m=-1/3
slope=-1/3

answer is A

Answer 2

SImple,

this line is in the form of y=mx+b..which means that m=slope and b=y-intercept..

Thus, the slope for this line is....
`-(1)/(3)`

Thus, your answer, A.
