Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4/5x-3

Answer 1

The slope of the given line is:

`(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

We know that if a line is represented in the slope intercept form i.e.

`y=mx+c`

then m represents the slope of the line and c represents the y-intercept of the line.

Here we are given a equation of a line as follows:

`y=(4)/(5)x-3`

i.e. on comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form of the line we have the slope of the line is:

`m=(4)/(5)`
