Answer:

slope = - 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

33x + 11y = 22 ( subtract 33x from both sides )

11y = - 33x + 22 ( divide terms by 11 )

y = - 3x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Answer:

m = -3 for the line 33x + 11y = 22.

Explanation:

33x + 11y = 22

Change into y = mx + b form.

11y = -33x + 22

Divide both sides by 11.

y = -3x + 2

Since m is the slope in the equation y = mx + b, and -3 is taking the place of m in this equation, the slope of this line is -3.
