What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y is equal to 4 fifths x minus 3 ?
Answer
A
3
B
negative 3
C
negative 4 fifths
D
4 fifths
Explanation
The equation is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope. In y = (4/5)x − 3, the coefficient of x is 4/5, so the slope is four fifths. Choice D is correct.
