Question

what is the slope of the line?

(y + 2 = -2(x - 3))

choose 1 answer:

a (-2)

b (1)

c (-\frac{1}{2})

d (-1)

Explanation:

Identify the point-slope form equation

$$ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) $$

Compare the given equation to the standard form

$$ y + 2 = -2(x - 3) $$

Extract the slope value

$$ m = -2 $$

Answer:

• (A) \(-2\) (Correct answer)
• (B) \(1\)
• (C) \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
• (D) \(-1\)
