Question

What is the slope of the function y= -4x + 3

Answer 1

The given equation is y=-4x + 3

The general equation form of slope of a line equation is given by the formula ,
`\fbox{y=mx+b}` where m = slope of the line.

Comparing the given equation with the slope formula , we can observe m = -4

Hence the required slope is -4

Answer 2

We will have the following:

*First: We know that functions that follow the form:

`y=mx+b`

Will have a slope of m.

*Second: From that, we can see that the slope of the function is -4 since the function follows the form.
