The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

y = - 8x + 3

What is the slope of the equation?

-8

-5

3

8

Slope formula: y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intersept

Answer: - 8

Slope is generally showed by a variable, the variable can be represented by any letter. In this case the variable is represented by x

so the slope is the number that comes before the x, so the slope of this equation is - 8

So your answer is A
