Find the Slope y=-3

Problem

y=−3

Solution

1. Identify the form of the equation. The given equation y=−3 is a linear equation in the form y=c where c is a constant.

2. Recognize the geometric representation. A linear equation of the form y=c represents a horizontal line on the Cartesian plane.

3. Apply the slope formula for a horizontal line. The slope m of any horizontal line is 0 because there is no change in the ycoordinate (rise) for any change in the xcoordinate (run).

4. Compare with the slope-intercept form y=m*x+b We can rewrite y=−3 as y=0*x−3

5. Determine the value of m By comparing the equations, it is clear that m=0

Final Answer

m=0
