Finding Slope

[ToOtSiE_PoP]

Ok I need a someone to refresh my memory... How do I find the slope of a line... given y=-3/8x+4

 

[ting]

In the form

y= mx + c

m, is the slope.

If its negative it means the value of y decreases as the value of x increases. Inj this case each time x increases by 1 y decreases by 3/8.

Look at a few values

x.... y

0.... 4

1.... 3.625

2.... 3.25

3.... 2875

etc.

What!?? What is the formula I use to find slope?

Please review the reply you received. He gave you the answer. You need only read it from the equation.

slope would be -3/8?
