Question

Slope for the following line: y = 3/4 x - 7

A.-7
B.7
C.3/4
D. -4/3

Can someone please walk me through on how to do this? This always confuses me.

Answer 1

Principle equation of line is : y = mx + c
Here, you have: y = 3/4x - 7

Compare both the equations, m = 3/4, c = -7
You know, m is nothing but your slope. so,slope is 3/4

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
