Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-1/3x+1/4?

-1/2
-1/4
1/4
1/2

Answer 1

-1/3

Explanation:

None of the answers are correct the slope is -1/3

The slope in a slope-intercept equation is always followed by x.

In the equation provided ( y=-1/3x+1/4) the number followed by x is -1/3 so the slope is -1/3.

If you are looking for the y=intercept it is 1/4, but the slope is -1/3.
