Answer:

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)
