Question

Find the slope of the line y= -3x+7

Answer 1

If you had a line of x = 7, (or any time you have an equation where x equals a number) then you would have a vertical line. In every vertical line, the slope is undefined. In equations of lines that are in the format of y = mx + b, the slope is represented by the "m".

Answer 2

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form. The format of slope-intercept is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope is the coefficient of x.

In the equation y = -3x + 7, the slope is -3, because -3 is the coefficient of x.

Hence, the slope is -3.
