How do you find the slope given y=-4x-2? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Jensen Z Mar 25, 2018 The equation here is in slope-intercept form #y=mx+b# with #m# as the slope of the line, and #b# as the y-intercept. Here, #m# is #-4#, and #b# is -2 #"The slope is -4."# Answer link Related questions What is Slope? How can slope be undefined? How do you calculate slope from a graph?
