Question

What is the slope of the line with the following equation? (y-3)= -4(x-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First express it in the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y-3=-4x+20

y=-4x+20+3

y=-4x+23 then m=-4 which is the slope

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = - 4(x - 5) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 4
