Question

What is the slope of y+1/2=-6x?

Answer 1

slope=-6

Explanation:

Standard equation of a straight line is `y=mx +c`.
Thus,the given equation is `y=(-6)x +(-1//2)`.
The slope of the straight line is `m=-6`

Answer 2

`-6`

Explanation:

In the equation of type `y=mx+c`

`m` is the slope of the straight line

Answer 3

The slope of `y+1/2=-6x` is `-6`.

Explanation:

Given

`y+1/2=-6x" " " "(i)`

If we write equation `(i)` in slope-intercept form, then we get

`y=-6x-1/2`

where

• the slope, `m`, is `=-6`
• the `y`-intercept, `c`, is `=-1/2`

The slope-intercept form is

`y=mx+c`

Answer 4

Slope (`m`)`=6`

Explanation:

We can easily find the slope by changing this to slope-intercept form (`y=mx+b`), where `m` is the slope.

We can subtract `1/2` from both sides to get:

`y=-6x-1/2`

Our slope is the coefficient on `x`, `-6`.
