Question

find the slope of the line y= 5/2x + 7/5

Answer 1

The line equation in general form is written as,

y = mx + b .........(1)

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The given equation of line,

$y=\frac{5}{2}x+\frac{7}{5}$

is of the form of the general equation (1).

So equating the coefficients, we can see that,

$\text{slope, m = }\frac{5}{2}$
