Question

Find the slope of the following linear equation y = - 7/2x + 13

Answer 1

-7/2

it’s in the equation already
it’s the m in the formula
it’s y=Mx+b

Answer 2

Answer:

${ \rm{y = - \frac{7}{2}x + 13 }}$

• from general equation of a line:

${ \boxed{ \bf{y = mx + c}}}$

therefore:

${ \rm{m = - \frac{7}{2} }}$

slope is - 7/2
