Find the Slope y=5/4x-7/4

$y = \frac{5}{4} x - \frac{7}{4}$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{5}{4}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{5 x}{4} - \frac{7}{4}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{5}{4} x - \frac{7}{4}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{5}{4}$ .

$m = \frac{5}{4}$
