Question

what is the slope of the line represented by the equation $y = \frac{4}{5}x - 3$?
\bigcirc -3
\bigcirc -\frac{4}{5}
\bigcirc \frac{4}{5}
\bigcirc 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

The slope - intercept form of a linear equation is \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y - intercept.

Step2: Identify \(m\) in the given equation

The given equation is \(y=\frac{4}{5}x - 3\). Comparing this with \(y=mx + b\), we can see that \(m=\frac{4}{5}\).

Answer:

C. \(\frac{4}{5}\) (assuming the third option is labeled as C, with the option text \(\frac{4}{5}\))
