Question

What is the slope of the equation y+3x=-2

Answer 1

the slope is -3 and the y intercept is -2

Explanation:

y+3x=-2

you want to transform the equation into slope intercept form: y= mx+b

subtract 3x from both sides

y= -3x-2

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The slope is -3 and the y intercept is -2

Explanation:

y +3x = -2

We want this in slope intercept form

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

Subtract 3x from each side

y +3x-3x = -3x-2

y = -3x-2

The slope is -3 and the y intercept is -2
