What is the slope of the line represented by the equation [tex]$y=\frac{4}{5}x-3$[/tex]?

A. [tex]$-3$[/tex]
B. [tex]$-\frac{4}{5}$[/tex]
C. [tex][tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex][/tex]
D. [tex]$3$[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the slope of the line represented by the equation [tex]\( y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3 \)[/tex], we should recall the standard form of a linear equation, which is [tex]\( y = mx + b \)[/tex]. In this form, [tex]\( m \)[/tex] represents the slope of the line, and [tex]\( b \)[/tex] represents the y-intercept.

Here, the given equation is:

[tex]\[ y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3 \][/tex]

By comparing this with the standard form [tex]\( y = mx + b \)[/tex], we can clearly see that the coefficient of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is [tex]\( \frac{4}{5} \)[/tex]. This coefficient is the slope [tex]\( m \)[/tex] of the line.

So, the slope of the line is:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{4}{5}} \][/tex]
