Question

Consider the equation y= - 4 - 3x/8 State the slipe of the line.

Answer 1

∵ The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

→ m is the slope of the line

→ b is the y-intercept

∵ The equation is

$y=-4-\frac{3}{8}x$

→ Compare it by the form of the equation above to find the values of m and b

∴ b = -4

∴ m = -3/8

∵ m is the slope

∴ The slope of the line is -3/8
