Find the slope for the following line: y = 3/4x -7 A. -7 B. 7 C. 3/4 D. -4/3 Need help ASAP, please anybody online please help me

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the slope is the number which multiplies x

OpenStudy (gagecool):

so would that be 3/4 x 3/4 or is is something else, because i am dislestic and i am not very good at math so i don't understand when you are saying

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what is the number which appears before the x

OpenStudy (gagecool):

3/4

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes - thats the answer 3/4 x means 3/4 times x

OpenStudy (gagecool):

so the answer is 3/4 wow i would have never guessed that

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that is the answer

OpenStudy (welshfella):

however it would be better if it was written as (3/4)x to avoid confusion

OpenStudy (welshfella):

3/4x could also mean '3 divided by 4x'
