Find the slope of the following line: y= 3/4x -7 how do you solve this?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Y=mx+b m=the slope there is no solving

OpenStudy (tatumlee):

how did you get here?

pooja195 (pooja195):

The is known as slope-intercept form y=mx+b Where m = slope b= y intercept

For more... http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/linear-equations.html So what is the slope?

OpenStudy (tatumlee):

is 3/4 the slope? the slope is the place where m would be?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes! Thats correct!! Well done :)

OpenStudy (tatumlee):

Thank you very much!

OpenStudy (phi):

and "b" is the "y intercept" (the y value where the line crosses the y-axis)

pooja195 (pooja195):

No problem and thanks for pointing that out @phi :)
