Question

Y+2=−2(x−3)

Slope from equation
Problem
What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

y = -2x + 6 - 2
y = -2x + 4
The slope of the line is -2.

Answer 2

Please find below the given equation-

y + 2 = -2 ( x - 3 )

y + 2 = -2 x - 2(- 3)

y + 2 = -2 x + 6

y = -2 x + 6 - 2

y = -2 x + 4

Let's compare this equation with the form y = mx +c

By comparing we get,

m = -2 and c = 4

We know, in y = mx + c , slope of the line is given by m

Here m = -2, as discussed above

Therefore the slope of the given line is -2
