Question

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

Answer 1

`(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form of a line equation is

`y = mx + b`

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

The given line has the equation:

`y = (5)/(4)x - (7)/(4)`

Comparing the general equation to this equation tells us that the slope

`\textr{m } = (5)/(4)`

and y-intercept

`b = -(7)/(4)`

Answer 2

3rd option ==> 5/4

Explanation:

5x/4 means that for every time x increases by 1, y increases by 5/4.

5/4 is the coefficient for x.
