Slope of the line is $- 50 .$ $-50.$

The standard slope-intercept form of equation of a straight line is represented by : $y = m x + c .$ $y=mx+c.$ ....(i)

Here, $c$ $c$ represents the y-intercept & $m$ $m$ the slope of the line.

Now, given equation is $y = 300 - 50 x .$ $y=300-50x.$ ....(ii)
$:.$ Comparing equations (i) & (ii),
$y=(-50 )x+300.$

$:.m=-50, c=300.$
Therefore, slope of the line is $-50.$ (answer).

What is the slope of line y=300-50xy=300−50xy=300-50x?
