The slope is -3. Finding slope can be easy if you just remember that the formula is set up as y=mx+b. The number in the 'm' place is always the slope. Example: y=4x+1, the slope would be 4 because it's in the 'm' place. If you have trouble remembering which place the slope is, trying thinking about skiing or sledding; you can only sled or ski down a Mountain slope. Mountain starts with M. M=slope. Hope this helps :) If you have any questions, just let me know!
