Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 3x– 4y = 7?

Answer 1

slope =
`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

3x - 4y = 7 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 4y = - 3x + 7 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y =
`(3)/(4)` x -
`(7)/(4)` ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(3)/(4)`
