Question

Find the slope of each line
a. y=-4x+7

Answer 1

The slope is -4.

Explanation:

y=-4x+7

y=mx+b where m=slope,

so m=-4.

Answer 2

Hi!

The equation that we're given is in slope-intercept form,

• y=mx+b.

Where:

• m->slope (coefficient of x)
• b->y-intercept (a constant added to/subtracted from the slope)

Therefore,

• Slope-> -4
• y-intercept->7

Voila! There's our solution!

Have a nice day!

I hope this helped. :)
