Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form of a line is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope, and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step2: Match given equation to form

Compare $y = \frac{4}{5}x - 3$ with $y = mx + b$. Here, $m = \frac{4}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$ (Option: $\boldsymbol{\frac{4}{5}}$)
