Question

What is the slope of y = -4r -3

Answer 1

Let's solve for r.
y = −4r − 3
Step 1: Flip the equation.
−4r − 3 = y
Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.
−4r −3 + 3 = y + 3
−4r = y + 3
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.
−4r y+3
— = —
−4 -4

r = −1 -3
— y + —
4 4 (answer)

Answer 2

The slope is -4

Explanation:

the m part of y = mx + b is the slope.
