Question

What is the slope of the line that is represented by the equation y−15=−6(x+7)?

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

Or, if your answer is a fraction, such as 314, enter it like this: 3/14

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 6

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 - 15 = - 6(x + 7) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 6
