Question

What is the slope of the equation y - 3 = -4(X - 5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3 = -4(x - 5)

Add 3 to both sides to isolate y

y = -4 ( x - 5 ) + 3

Distribute

y = -4x +20 + 3

Combine like terms

y = -4x + 23

y = mx + b is standard form for which m is slope

m = -4

Answer 2

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -4 into the parenthesis and get -4x + 20. The number paired with x is the slope, usually represented by m in y = mx + b. So, the slope is -4. For the full slope intercept format, move the -3 on left side to the right by adding 3. The new equation is y = -4x + 23.
