Question

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

Answer 1

The equation of a line is given by y = mx + c; where m is the slope.
The given equation is y = 5/4 x - 7/4.
Therefore, the slope is 5/4.

Answer 2

Option 3rd is correct

`(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

`y = mx+c` ....[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line

c is the y-intercept.

As per the statement:

The equation of line is given as:

`y = (5)/(4)x -(7)/(4)`

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;

⇒
`m = (5)/(4)` and
`c = -(7)/(4)`

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