Question

Find the slope of -3/5x+7

Answer 1

The slope is m = -3/5

Answer 2

-3/5

Explanation:

In order to figure out the slope of this line, we need to look at the number before x.

The function is
`y=-\cfrac{3}{5}x+7`.

The slope, the number before x, is -3/5.

Note: This way of finding the slope only works for slope-intercept equations (equations in the form of
`y=mx+b`).
