Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the<em> b</em> represents the constant term.
So the slope will be the coefficient of the <em>x-term</em> which means the number that is in front of the <em>x</em> which in this case is -5/4.
