Question

What is the slope of the line described by the equation below y-5=-3(x-17)

Answer 1

the answer to your question is. The slope is -3.

Answer 2

here we are given equation y-5=-3(x-17)

general slope intercept form is y=mx+b , where m is slope

from our equation we have

y-5=-3(x-17)

y-5=-3x+51

y=-3x+51+5

y=-3x+56

so slope is -3
