Standard equation of a straight line is $y=mx +c$ .
Thus,the given equation is $y=(-6)x +(-1//2)$ .
The slope of the straight line is $m=-6$

Answer 2 · 2018-02-22T18:35:03

$-6$

In the equation of type $y=mx+c$

$m$ is the slope of the straight line

The slope of $y+1/2=-6x$ is $-6$ .

Given

$y+1/2=-6x" " " "(i)$

If we write equation $(i)$ in slope-intercept form, then we get

$y=-6x-1/2$

where

the slope, $m$ , is $=-6$

the $y$ -intercept, $c$ , is $=-1/2$

The slope-intercept form is

$y=mx+c$

Answer 4 · 2018-02-23T00:22:07

Slope ( $m$ ) $=6$

We can easily find the slope by changing this to slope-intercept form ( $y=mx+b$ ), where $m$ is the slope.

We can subtract $1/2$ from both sides to get:

$y=-6x-1/2$

Our slope is the coefficient on $x$ , $-6$ .
