Question

Find the slope of the line y= 5/2x + 7/5

Answer 1

The line equation in general form is written as,

y = mx + b .........(1)

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The given equation of line,

`y=(5)/(2)x+(7)/(5)`

is of the form of the general equation (1).

So equating the coefficients, we can see that,

`\text{slope, m = }(5)/(2)`
