what is the slope of the equation y= 5/4x -7/4? –7 -7/4 5/4 5
The equation of a line is given by y = mx + c; where m is the slope.
The given equation is y = 5/4 x - 7/4.
Therefore, the slope is 5/4.
Answer:
Option 3rd is correct
\(\frac{5}{4}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form:
The equation of line is given by:
\(y = mx+c\) ....[1]
where,
m is the slope of the line
c is the y-intercept.
As per the statement:
The equation of line is given as:
\(y = \frac{5}{4}x -\frac{7}{4}\)
On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;
⇒\(m = \frac{5}{4}\) and \(c = -\frac{7}{4}\)
Therefore, the slope of the given equation is, \(\frac{5}{4}\)
