Question

What is the slope of the equation y= 5/4x-7/4

Answer 1

`\text{Slope}=\frac 54`

Explanation:

`\underline{\textbf{Slope-intercept form}}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~y = mx +c\\\\\text{Where,}\\\\m = \text{Slope.}\\\\c = y\text{-intercept.}\\\\\underline{\textbf{Solution:}}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\y=\frac 54x -\frac 74\\\\\text{Compare this with the slope-intercept form(y=mx+c) and you will get,}\\\\m = \frac 54~ \text{and}~ c = -\frac 74\\\\\textbf{Hence, the slope of the given equation of line is}~ \frac 54.`
