Question

How do you find the slope given `-x=2y-6`?

Answer 1

I found: slope`=-1/2`

Explanation:

I would change your equation into slope-intercept form by isolating `y` on one side and "read" the value of the slope directly.
So:
`2y=-x+6`
`y=-1/2x+6/2`
`y=-1/2x+3`
The slope will be the numerical coefficient of `x`, i.e., `-1/2`
