The slope of the line is -1/3
Here, we want to get the slope of the line by comparing with the slope-intercept form
To get the slope, we will write the equation in the standard form
This can be obtained by splitting the fraction
We have this as;
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{8-x}{3} \\ \\ y\text{ = }\frac{-x+8}{3} \\ y\text{ = -}\frac{x}{3}+\text{ }\frac{8}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
As we can see, the coeffiecient of x is the slope
The coeffiient of x in this case is -1/3 which is the slope
