Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation -6x-2y=8?

Answer 1

we have the equation of the line

`-6x-2y=8`

Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form

`y=mx+b`

so

isolate the variable y

`\begin{gathered} -6x-2y=8 \\ 2y=-6x-8 \\ y=-3x-4 \end{gathered}`

The slope is m=-3
