What is the slope of the line described by the equation below? y-9= -2(x-8)
O A. -2
OB. 2
O C. -9
O D. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is always the factor of x.

in our case here : -2

if you need it plainly written :

y - 9 = -2(x - 8)

y - 9 = -2x + 16

y = -2x + 25

now it is fully visible.

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
