Math Problem Statement

determine the slope of 3x + y = 3

Solution

To determine the slope of the line represented by the equation 3x+y=33x + y = 3, follow these steps:

  1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b), where mm is the slope, and bb is the y-intercept.

3x+y=33x + y = 3

Subtract 3x3x from both sides:

y=3x+3y = -3x + 3

  1. The coefficient of xx in this form (3-3) is the slope of the line.

Final Answer:

The slope of the line is 3\mathbf{-3}.
