Question

What is the slope of the line 6x + y = 24?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is -6/1 but the slope-intercept form is y=-6x+24

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

6x+y=24

first you want to subtract 6x from each side.

y=-6x+24

m=-6x or -6/1

b= 24

Answer 2

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get it in Point-Slope form, or

y = mx + b

Isolate y by subtracting 6x

You are left with:

y = -6x + 24

M is the slope, so in this case, it is -6
