What is the slope of the line \(y=\frac{3}{5}x+7\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{3}{5}\)
In the slope-intercept form \(y=mx+c\), \(m\), the coefficient of \(x\), is the slope. Here, \(m=\frac{3}{5}\), so the correct answer is \(\frac{3}{5}\). The number 7 is the y-intercept, not the slope. Exam tip: in \(y=mx+c\), identify the number multiplying \(x\) to find the slope.
