Question

What is the slope in this equation?
y+7=10(x-4)

Answer 1

slope = 10

Explanation:

Solve the equation for "y". In other words, isolate "y":

y + 7 = 10(x - 4)

y = 10(x - 4) - 7

y = 10x - 40 - 7

y = 10x - 47

Above is a linear expression in slope-intercept form "y = mx + b", where "m=slope" and "b=y-intercept". "m=10", so 10 is the slope
