Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

A. -2

Explanation:

Arrange to y-intercept form:

-4x + 7 = 2y - 3

7 = 4x + 2y - 3

7 + 3 = 4x + 2y

10 = 4x + 2y

10 - 2y = 4x

-2y = 4x - 10

y = -2x + 5

As you can see, -2 is the slope of the equation.

Answer 2

-2

this eq. can be simplified to -

y = 5 - 2x

we know that the coefficient of x is the slope

therefore , -2 is the slope
