Find the Slope of a Parallel Line y=-8-4x

$y = - 8 - 4 x$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Reorder $- 8$ and $- 4 x$ .

$y = - 4 x - 8$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- 4$ .

$m = - 4$

All lines that are parallel to $y = - 4 x - 8$ have the same slope of $- 4$ .

$m_{parallel} = - 4$
