Q. Find the slope of the line y−1=54(x+4). Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction.
Identify Form: Identify the form of the linear equation.The equation y−1=54(x+4) is in the point-slope form, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line.
Compare with Point-Slope: Compare the given equation with the point-slope form. The given equation y−1=54(x+4) can be compared to the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1) to identify the slope.
Identify Slope: Identify the slope from the equation.By comparing the given equation with the point-slope form, we can see that the slope m is the coefficient of (x+4), which is 54.
