Answer:

The slope is - 3

Explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

The equation is 3x+y = 4

To find the slope of the line we must first write the equation in the general form above

Make y the subject

That's

y = - 3x + 4

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope of the line = - 3

Hope this helps you
