Question

What is the slope of the linear function? A) -4/3 B) -3/4 C) 3/4 D) 1

Answer 1

The slope is equal to rise over run.

Each time the equation travels 3 units up on the y-axis, it travels 4 units across on the x-axis.

Therefore your slope is m = 3/4.

Answer 2

You count the distance between one point and another, in this case from one point to the next is three up and four to the right, therefore your slope is 3/4 which means 3 up 4 to the right this positive numbers mean positive direction.
