Answer:
5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
• Compare the given equation with the general equation of a straight line:
y = 5/4 x - 7/4
y = m x + c [m = slope, c = y-intercept]
As we can see, m in the general equation corresponds to 5/4 in the given equation. This means the slope is 5/4.
(We can also see that the y-intercept is -7/4.)
