What’s the slope of this equation

m = -2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Function y = -2x + 5

Step 2: Break Function

Slope m = -2

y-intercept b = 5

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
