The equation provided does not have a defined slope. The slope of a line is determined by the coefficient of the x-term in the equation, but there is none in the given equation.
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
The straight line equation is: y = mx+c whereas m is the slope and c is the y intercept
The equation provided does not have a defined slope. The slope of a line is determined by the coefficient of the x-term in the equation, but there is none in the given equation.
To identify the slope in a linear equation, rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b. The term m is the slope.
Use point-slope formula
The slope of the graph of that equation is -1.
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
Slope = 3
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
The straight line equation is: y = mx+c whereas m is the slope and c is the y intercept
If you know the slope of the line that your equation is perpendicular too, you find the negative reciprocal of it and use it as the slope for the line. (negative reciprocal = flip the slope over and change its sign. Ex: a slope of 2 has a negative reciprocal of -1/2. ) Then you use the given point, and put your equation in point-slope form. The general equation for point slope form is Y-y1=m(x-x1) The y1 is the y coordinate of the given point. X1 is the x coordinate of the given point. M is the slope that you found earlier. You now have your equation. If you are asked to put it in slope intercept form, simply distribute the numbers and solve the equation for y.
A straight line in slope-intercept format has the equation: y = mx + b Where m is the slope, b the y-intercept. So, all you have to do is copy this equation, then replace "m" by the given slope, and "b" by the given y-intercept.
the slope is -1/3
