Question

Determine the slope of the linear function.

y = −3x + 3
A) −3
B) −1/3
C) 2
D) 3

Answer 1

-3. slope is with your x value

Answer 2

A) −3

Explanation:

recall that the general form for a linear equation is y = mx + b,

where m = slope and b = y-intercept

if we compare our given equation to the general equation:

y = −3 x + 3 vs. y = mx + b

we can clearly see that

slope, m = -3

y intercept, b = 3
