Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4/5x - 3?

A. -3
B. -4/5
C. 4/5
D. 3

Answer 1

C. 4/5 whichever number is with the x is the slope (y=mx+b)

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

We have the equation:

`\displaystyle y=(4)/(5)x-3`

This is in slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope and b is our y-intercept.

Therefore, whatever number in front of our x, the coefficient, is our slope.

The coefficient of x is 4/5.

Therefore, the slope of the line is 4/5.

Hence, our answer is C.
