Q. Find the slope of the line y−11=−12(x+1). Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction.
Identify Form: Identify the form of the equation.The equation y−11=−12(x+1) is in the point-slope form, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line.
Compare with Point-Slope: Compare the given equation with the point-slope form. The given equation y−11=−12(x+1) can be compared to the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1) to identify the slope m.
Identify Slope: Identify the slope.By comparing the given equation with the point-slope form, we can see that the slope m is −12.
