slope=-6

Explanation:

Standard equation of a straight line is $y = m x + c$ $y=mx +c$ .
Thus,the given equation is $y = (- 6) x + (- 1 / 2)$ $y=(-6)x +(-1//2)$ .
The slope of the straight line is $m = - 6$ $m=-6$

Answer 2 · 2018-02-22T18:35:03

$- 6$ $-6$

Explanation:

In the equation of type $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$

$m$ $m$ is the slope of the straight line

The slope of $y + \frac{1}{2} = - 6 x$ $y+1/2=-6x$ is $- 6$ $-6$ .

Explanation:

Given

$y + \frac{1}{2} = - 6 x (i)$ $y+1/2=-6x" " " "(i)$

If we write equation $(i)$ $(i)$ in slope-intercept form, then we get

$y = - 6 x - \frac{1}{2}$ $y=-6x-1/2$

where

the slope, $m$ $m$ , is $= - 6$ $=-6$

the $y$ $y$ -intercept, $c$ $c$ , is $= - \frac{1}{2}$ $=-1/2$

The slope-intercept form is

$y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$

Answer 4 · 2018-02-23T00:22:07

Slope ( $m$ $m$ ) $= 6$ $=6$

Explanation:

We can easily find the slope by changing this to slope-intercept form ( $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ ), where $m$ $m$ is the slope.

We can subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ from both sides to get:

$y = - 6 x - \frac{1}{2}$ $y=-6x-1/2$

Our slope is the coefficient on $x$ $x$ , $- 6$ $-6$ .
