Question

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

Answer 1

5/4.

The x is a variable, not a multiplication sign.

The equation is

y=mx+b

the slope is the m.

Answer 2

5/4

Explanation:

If the equation is

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

then the slope is the number multiplying x, so

slope = 5/4.
