Answer:

a.5/4

Explanation:

y equals mx plus c, where m is the gradient(slope of line) & c is the constant

∴y equals (5/4)x-5,where 5/4 represents the "m" & -5 is the constant.

Therefore,5/4 is "m" which is the slope(gradient).

Hi!

The equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) where m stands for the slope.

In order to find the slope of the given line, let's just take a look at our equation.

Hint: what is the coefficient of x?

That's right, 5/4

Hence, the answer is


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{(5)/(4)}}}

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any other questions; if so, please feel free to ask.
