Slope-Intercept Form: The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The given equation y=−4x−3 is already in slope-intercept form.
Comparing with Slope-Intercept Form: By comparing the given equation y=−4x−3 with the slope-intercept form, we can see that the coefficient of x, which is −4, represents the slope of the line.
Slope of the Line: Therefore, the slope of the line described by the equation y=−4x−3 is −4.
