Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground. He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute. whats the slope

Answer:The slope of the equation is -3.          Step-by-step explanation:Given : Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground. He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute.To find : What is the slope ?Solution : Let x be the number of minutes taken to dig the ground.He started digging his way deeper into the ground, descending 3 meters each minute i.e. '-3x'Let y is the total distance travel to dig the ground.Mr. Mole's burrow lies 5 meters below the ground.The equation form is [tex]y=-3x-5[/tex]Comparing with general slope form i.e. [tex]y=mx+c[/tex] where m is the slope.The slope of the equation is -3.
