Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation -6x-2y=8?

Answer 1

we have the equation of the line

$-6x-2y=8$

Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

so

isolate the variable y

$\begin{gathered} -6x-2y=8 \\ 2y=-6x-8 \\ y=-3x-4 \end{gathered}$

The slope is m=-3
