Question

What is the slope of the line y = -3x+2

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope, which can be found by having two points that cross the line: $(x_ {1}, y_ {1})\ and\ (x_ {2}, y_ {2})$.

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

If we have an equation of the form:$y = -3x + 2$

So:

$m = -3\\b = 2$

Thus, the slope of the line is$m = -3$

Answer:

The slope of the line is $m = -3$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line is -3.  in the y-intercept form (y=mx + b) m is the slope.

Just remeber that! :)
