Question

State the slope of the equation: y = 2/3x - 7 *

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: This equation is written in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line and the b or the constant term represents the y-intercept of the line.

Since this equation is already written in y = mx + b form, we can simply look at the number in front of our x which is called our coefficient.

Notice that we have a fraction in front of

our x so the slope is simply 2/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is simply the number that is multiplied to x.

In this case, it is 2/3. So, that is the slope.

The other number, -7, is the y-intercept of the line, which is where the line intersects the y axis.
