Question

Determine the slope of the line represented by the equation : y = 1/9x + 1

Answer 1

A line equation can be written in slope intercept-form, which is

$y=mx+b$

Where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

If we compare our line equation

$y=\frac{1}{9}x+1$

with the slope-intercept form, we have the following correspondence

$m=\frac{1}{9},b=1$

Therefore, the slope of the given line is 1/9.
