Question 572044: What is the slope of the line 2x + 2y = -7?

The slope is the coefficient of x in the equation y = mx + b.
I need to write your equation in the general form above.
To do so, I will need to ISOLATE y.
2x + 2y = -7
2y = -2x - 7
y = -2x/2 -7/2
y = -x - 7/2
Do you see it now?
Your slope is -1.
