Question

What is the slope of the line given by the equation y = -3x?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$y=-3x$           .... (1)

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$        .... (2)

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

From (1) and (2), we get

$m=-3,b=0$

The slope of the line is -3.

Therefore the correct option is B.

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be B, -3. The reason for this is because when you have an equation in slope intercept form, it would be y = mx + b. In this case your b is equal to 0 so you have only y = mx. The variable m represents the slope, which is in this case, equal to -3. Hope this helps.
