What is the slope of the equation 4x + y = 3?

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. -3

  4. -4

The correct answer is: -3

The slope of a linear equation can be found in the form of y = mx + b where m is the slope. In this equation, we need to isolate the y variable by subtracting 4x from both sides to get y = -4x + 3. Therefore, the slope is -4. Option A is not the slope as it represents the coefficient of x. Option B is not the slope as it represents the constant term. Option D is not the slope as it represents a negative version of the coefficient of x. The slope of the given equation is -4.
