What is the slope of the line y=-3x-2?

  1. 3

  2. -3

  3. -2

  4. 2

The correct answer is: -3

The slope, or rate of change, of a line is equivalent to the coefficient of x in the equation y=mx+b, where m represents the slope. In this case, the coefficient of x is -3, therefore the slope is -3. The other options, such as A, C, and D, do not accurately represent the slope of the given line. Option A has the incorrect sign and option D has the incorrect value. Option C represents the y-intercept of the line, rather than the slope.
