Question

Find the slope from the line of best fit y = 5 - 3x.

Answer 1

slope =-3
Explanation:
What is the equation of a line in slope
intercept form?
mr + b
m is the slope. It is always multiplied with
the variable (x)
b is the y-intercept. It is always the term
without a variable
The given line of best fit is written in slope-
intercept form. All we have to do is identify
which term is the slope.
Y
-30+5
-3 is the coefficient of x. Therefore, -3 is
the slope.

Answer 2

slope = -3

Explanation:

⭐ What is the equation of a line in slope intercept form?

• 
  `y = mx+b`
• m is the slope. It is always multiplied with the variable (x)
• b is the y-intercept. It is always the term without a variable

The given line of best fit is written in slope-intercept form. All we have to do is identify which term is the slope.

`y = -3x + 5`

-3 is the coefficient of x. Therefore, -3 is the slope.
