Question 685042: My question is this in the slope-intercept formula I know what is y-intercept and which is slope. Take the formula y=-x+4, now I know the coordinate for y is (0,4), but now how do you figure the slope when you only have a -x. If it was like a -2x I could at least change that to -2/1, but what can you do with something like a -x.

-x means -1x
so slope = -1
