Question 106995
To find the slope, the best way is to 'convert' the equation in slope-intercept form,


The slope-intercept form is 

{{{y=mx+b}}}


where m=slope


Let's start!

{{{y+4=(-1/2)(x+3)}}}
{{{2(y+4)=2((-1/2)(x+3))}}}
{{{2y+8=-(x+3)}}}
{{{2y+8=-x-3}}}
{{{2y+8-8=-x-3-8}}}
{{{2y+0=-x-11}}}
{{{2y=-x+-11}}}
{{{2y/2=(-x-11)/(2)}}}
{{{y=-x/2-11/2}}}


Here, {{{m=-1/2}}}. Therfore, the slope is {{{-1/2}}}
