Question

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

A. -7
B. -7/4
C. 5/4
D. 5

Answer 1

y = mx + b where m = slope

in this case
y=5/4x - 7/4 , m = 5/4 = slope

answer
C. 5/4

Answer 2

When you have an equation in the form

y = mx + c

The number m which is stuck to the unknown x is your slope!

So in this case 5/4 is the slope.
