How do you find the slope of # y = \frac { 4} { 7} x - \frac { 5} { 3}#?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

This equation is in slope intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: #y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b)# is the y-intercept value.

#y = color(red)(4/7)x - color(blue)(5/3)#

Therefore, the slope is: #color(red)(m = 4/7)#

#"slope "=4/7#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form "# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#y=4/7x-5/3" is in this form"#

#"with slope m "=4/7#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
