Question

What is the slope of the equation Y = 5/4x - 7/4?

Answer 1

Hello,

Y = ax + b (where a is the slope) si here the slope is 5/4

Answer 2

5/4

Explanation:

• Compare the given equation with the general equation of a straight line:

y = 5/4 x - 7/4

y = m x + c [m = slope, c = y-intercept]

As we can see, m in the general equation corresponds to 5/4 in the given equation. This means the slope is 5/4.

(We can also see that the y-intercept is -7/4.)
