Question

What is the slope of this line? y+2=-2(x-3)

Answer 1

-2 is the slope.

i suggest putting this standard equation of a line into the slope-intercept form.

so y = -2 x + 4

Answer 2

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 8.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.000 - 8.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

  Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000
