\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: slope \:\: of \:\: line = \cfrac{3}{2}

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :

The equation of line is written in slope - intercept form


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(x) = (3)/(2) x - 4

if we compare it with general slope - intercept equation of line :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(x) = mx + c

[ m represents slope of line ]


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: m = (3)/(2)

Answer:


\frac32

Explanation:

Hello!

An equation of a line is usually written in slope-intercept form.

Slope Intercept Form:
y = mx + b

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

If we compare our given equation with the format:

  • m =
    \frac32
  • b = -4

This means that
\frac32 would be our slope for the line.
