Question

Find the slope of the equation. y=-(-x+1)

Answer 1

The form of the linear equation is

`y=mx+b`

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Since the given equation is

`y=-(-x+1)`

Simplify it by multiplying each term in the bracket by (-)

`\begin{gathered} y=-(-x)+-(1) \\ y=x+-1 \\ y=x-1 \end{gathered}`

Compare it with the form above to find the value of m

`m=1`

The slope of the equation is 1
