y = -4x +8....I need to find the slope (m) =
please guide
You have y = -4x + 8.
For any equation in the form y = mx + b, the slope is m, and the y intercept is b.
So for y = -4x + 8, the y intercept is 8. What do you think the slope is?
Correct.
To find the slope (m) from the equation y = -4x + 8, you can directly refer to the coefficient of x. In the equation, the coefficient of x is -4.
So, the slope (m) is equal to -4.
Remember, in the equation y = mx + b, where m represents the slope, so you can directly look at the coefficient of x to determine the slope.
