The equation you provided is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is \( y = mx + b \). In this form, \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.
In the equation \( y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 2 \):
Therefore, the slope of the line is \(-\frac{1}{4}\).
To find the slope of the equation \( y + 3 = -4x \), we can first rearrange it into the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope.
Starting with the given equation:
\[ y + 3 = -4x \]
Subtract \( 3 \) from both sides:
\[ y = -4x - 3 \]
Now, the equation is in slope-intercept form, where:
Therefore, the slope of the line is \(-4\).
