Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is y=-x+2?

Answer 1

`"slope " =-1`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in `color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))`
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

`"the equation " y=-x+2" is in this form"`

`rArr"slope " =-1" and y-intercept "=2`
