Hello,

Y = ax + b (where a is the slope) si here the slope is 5/4

Answer:

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given equation with the general equation of a straight line:

y = 5/4 x  - 7/4

y =   m x  +   c                          [m = slope, c = y-intercept]

As we can see, m in the general equation corresponds to 5/4 in the given equation. This means the slope is 5/4.

(We can also see that the y-intercept is -7/4.)
