What is the slope of the equation y – 3 = –4(x – 5)?
–4
–3
20
23

Answer 1

Explanation:

the slope is in the form

y = ...

always the factor of x.

now, to bring

y - 3 = -4(x - 5)

into the form

y = ...

is not difficult. we just need to add 3 an both sides and get

y = -4(x - 5) + 3

that "+3" at the end does not change the multiplication factor for x : -4

so, the answer is -4 or -4/1.

Answer 2

y= -4x+23
Therefore slope=-4
