Answer: The Slope Is 3

Explanation:

You are missing the x after the 3.

considering the linear equation y=mx+b, the coefficient of x is ALWAYS the slope (rate of change)

Answer:

The slope is 0

Explanation:

Solve the equation for y

y+3=0

y = -3

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 0x-3

The slope is 0 and the y intercept is -3
