Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The slope of the line is -3.

Explanation:

You need to find any two points on the line.

I'll chose (0, 4) and (2, -2).

To find slope, you need to use the formula m = y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = (-2 - 4) / (2 - 0)

m = -6 / 2

Then you must reduce to lowest terms.

m = -3

Answer 2

y=-3x+4

Explanation:

Use rise/run to find slope. Rise= -3, Run= 1

Y-Intercept is found where the line intersects y.
