Hello, hope you are having a marvellous day.

First, we should check if the equation is written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

If it is, then it's easy to find the slope, as in slope-intercept equations the slope is the number before x.

As we can see, our equation is written in slope-intercept form.

So the slope is the number before x, or in this case, -4.

Hope it helps. Ask me if you have any queries.

Answer:

-4 or -4/1

Explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b form

m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

So, for this line, y=-4x+10

-4 is the slope and 10 is the y intercept

Hope this helps! :)
