Question

What is the slope of the line y = (1/7)x + 3?
a. -3
b. 3
c. 1/7
d. -1/7

Answer 1

Our answer is 1/7.

`\Large\texttt{Explanation}`

We are asked to find the slope of the following line:

y = 1/7x + 3

Since the line's equation is written in slope intercept form, its slope is the number before x, which is 1/7.

`\therefore` our answer is option c, 1/7.

Answer 2

c. (1/7)

Explanation:

The equation of the line y = (1/7)x + 3 is written in slope-intercept form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. m, the slope, is (1/7), answer c.
