Question

What is the slope of y-14=-8(x+2)?

Answer 1

slope: -8

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf slope\:intercept\:form:y = mx+ b`

where:

• m = slope
• b = y-intercept

Here equation:

⇒ y - 14 = -8(x + 2)

rewrite:

⇒ y = -8x - 16 + 14

simplify

⇒ y = -8x - 2

Here, the slope is -8 and y-intercept is -2.
