Answer:

gradient m = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the gradient and c the y- intercept )

y = - x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = - 1

Answer:

[tex]\rm Slope = -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

  • A equation of line .
  • [tex]\rm y = -x-3[/tex]

And we need to find out the gradient of the line. The gradient of the line is the " slope " of the line. The given equation is in slope Intercept Form , which is ,

Slope intercept form :-

[tex]\rm\implies y = mx + c [/tex]

  • Where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept .

  • On comparing it to slope Intercept Form , we have ,

[tex]\implies \rm Slope (m) = (-1)[/tex]

Hence the gradient of the line is (-1) .
