. What is the slope of the line? Response area
b. The equation y=−43x
was shifted Response area to get the graph of y=−43x −5
The slope of the line remains the same at -43.
wheres the rest of the answer
I apologize for the incomplete response. The rest of the answer is:
When the equation y = -43x was shifted to get the graph of y = -43x - 5, the only change that occurred was a vertical shift downward by 5 units. The slope of the line, which is -43, remains the same.
To find the slope of a line, we look at the coefficient of the x term in the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope.
In the equation y=−43x, the coefficient of x is -43, so the slope is -43.
When the equation y=−43x is shifted to get the graph of y=−43x-5, the slope remains the same, which is -43. The shift introduced in the equation only changes the y-intercept, not the slope.
