Question

What is the slope of the line y= -2/7x

Answer 1

Given,

`y = ( - 2)/(7) x \\ (2)/(7) x + y = 0 \\ (2x + 7y)/(7) = 0 \\ 2x + 7y = 0`

Now,

slope of the line(m) =

`(- coefficient \: of \: x )/(coefficient \: of \:y) \\ = ( -2 )/(7)`

Answer 2

-2⁄7

Explanation:

In the Slope-Intercept Formula, y = mx + b, m is the Rate of Change [Slope]. So, in this case, our slope is -2⁄7.
