What is the slope for y = - 1/2x - 3

m = - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have the equation:

y = - 1/2x - 3

If we compare the 2 equations:

y=-1/2x - 3

y=mx+b

The slope must be - 1/2, since x is being multiplied by - 1/2
