Question 7974: "Please help me solve this question" "What is the slope of x+y=4"
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can find thr slope of a linear equation by putting the equation in the "slope-intercept" form: y = mx + b m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
x + y = 4 Rewrite as: y = -x + 4 and compare with y = mx + b
m = -1, so the slope is -1.
