Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation: y+6=24-2x

Answer 1

The slope is -2

Explanation:

y+6=24-2x

Subtract 6 from each side

y+6-6=24-6-2x

y = 18 -2x

Rewriting

y = -2x+18

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -2 and the y intercept is 18
