Find the Slope -2y=13

$- 2 y = 13$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Divide each term in $- 2 y = 13$ by $- 2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 2 y = 13$ by $- 2$ .

$\frac{- 2 y}{- 2} = \frac{13}{- 2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 2 y}{- 2} = \frac{13}{- 2}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{13}{- 2}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{13}{2}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $0$ .

$m = 0$
