Question

Find the slope of the line xy+3=0

Open in App
Solution

Equations of straight lines are in the form
y=mx+c(i)
where,
m= gradient of the line
c= y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis)
Given equation of line-
xy+3=0
y=x+3(ii)
On comparing eqn(i)&(ii), we get
m=1
c=3
Hence, slope of line, xy+3=0 is 1.
