How do you find the slope of #y-17=-3x#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope-Intercept Form 1 Answer George C. May 25, 2015 If you add #17# to both sides of this equation, you get: #y = -3x + 17# This is in slope intercept form #y = mx+c# where #m=-3# is the slope and #c=17# the intercept.
