Question

The slope of a line parallel to the line who is the equation 2x + y = 6

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that slope-intercept form looks like: y = mx + b

In this case, isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 2x from both sides:

2x (-2x) + y = 6 (-2x)

y = -2x + 6

Note in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y = y

m = slope

x = x

b = y-intercept

In this case, your slope is -2. All lines parallel to the given equation will also have a slope of-2.
