Answer 6

Do you know the definition of "slope"?

Answer 7

yes it's te measure of steepness

Answer 8

Good, what the slope in the equation: $$\huge y = \frac{4}{9}x – 2$$

Answer 9

in this equation it's 4/9x

Answer 10

Not quite, but close...why did you include the x?

Answer 11

Because it is connected to 4/9

Answer 12

Yes, it is multiplied by x, but the "slope" is a constant for a line and it has a fixed value any where on that line, right?

Answer 13

yes that is right

Answer 14

So what is the slope?
