Question

question 3 of 10, step 1 of 1
find the slope of the following function.
$p(x) = -1 - \frac{1}{6}x$
answer
slope:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

Linear function: $y = mx + b$, where $m$ = slope, $b$ = y-intercept.

Step2: Rewrite given function

$p(x) = -\frac{1}{6}x - 1$

Step3: Match to slope-intercept form

Identify $m = -\frac{1}{6}$

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{6}$
