Answer:

-6.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is more included in this problem then -6.61 is the slope. Slope is represented as m in y=mx+b. Simply substituting in the slop and y-intercept shows that m=-6.61 or the slope is -6.61.

Crazy boy [7]
X=5
Y=8
Z=8

3x+2y-z=23 --> z=-23+2y+3x
Y=8
Substitute for -2y+4z=16

-2(8)+4(-23+2(8)+3x)=16
-16-28+12x=16
-44+12x=16
12x=60
X=5

Substitute known y and x values into z=-23+2y+3x

Z=-23+2(8)+3(5)
Z=-23+16+15
Z=8
