Question

What is the slope of the line created by this equation?
Y--5 = -6(x--2)
Help

Answer 1

-6

Explanation:

→ Convert the double minuses into addition

y + 5 = -6 ( x + 2 )

→ Expand the brackets

y + 5 = -6x - 12

→ Convert into y = mx + c format

y = -6x - 17

→ The x value is the slope

-6
