Question

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

Answer 1

4/5 is the slope. Any number multiplied by x in slope-intercept form is the slope.

Answer 2

The slope of the given equation is
`(4)/(5)`.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`y=(4)/(5)x-3` ....(1)

The slope intercept form of a line is

`y=mx+b` .... (2)

Where, m is slope of the line and b is y-intercept of the line.

on comparing (1) and (2), we get

`m=(4)/(5)`

`b=-3`

Therefore the slope of the given equation is
`(4)/(5)`.
