what's the slope of this equation 2x-2x+y=-2x+1 y=-2x+1

Answer 1

When an equation is written in the form:

then the coefficient in front of the "x" (which is shown as "m") is the slope.

So in y = -2x + 1, the coefficient in front of the "x" is "-2" therefore the slope is -2.

Just FYI, the "b" in y = mx + b is the y-intercept (the location that the graph crosses the y-axis) which, in this case, is 1.

Answer 2

What's the slope of this equation? 2x-2x+y = -2x+1,

y = - 2x + 1

Solving for the following:

1. Find the slope of the given linear equation.
2. The equation: 2x - 2x + y = -2x + 1

What is the Slope intercept form? y = mx + b

1. m is the slope
2. b is the y inercept

Step 1: Simplify the Equation

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

1. 2x - 2x + y = -2x + 1 (Subtract 2x from both sides)
2. 2x-2x = 0
3. y = - 2x +1 ( Isolate y on left side of equation )

Step 2: Identify the Slope

Compare the simplified equation with the slope intercept form

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 1

m = -2

b = 1

Solution of the equation:

The slope of the given equation is ( -2 )

I hope this information is useful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.

Answer 3

When an equation is in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, the slope of the equation is the m term. Our problem is

y = -2x + 1

This equation is in the y = mx + b form, so our slope is -2

The final answer is -2

Answer 4

Hi Savanna R

If your equation is

y = -2x +1

your slope is -2

If your equation is 2x -2x + y = -2x + y; you would still end up with y = -2x + 1 since after combining like terms, 2x - 2x is zero. In either case please see below:

Compare your equation to Slope Intercept Form.

Slope Intercept Form is

y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

In Slope Intercept form m is the coefficient of x you can line it up

y = mx + b

y = - 2x + 1; your equation is in Slope Intercept Form

so m, the slope is -2

Hope this helps
