Question

Which equation has a slope
m=−34
Question 4 options:

A)

y=−34x+11

B)

y=43x−5

C)

y=34x+19

D)

y=−43x+17

Answer 1

First notice that each answer is written in slope-intercept form. The formula for slope-intercept is y = m(x) + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. 

Knowing this, we can easily conclude that the correct answer is A) y=−34x+11 because -34 is in place of 'm' in the equation y = m(x) + b. Anything that is before the 'x' and after the y= will be the slope. 

Answer 2

All the choices are in the slope-intercept form where,

y=mx+b

so, the number before the x is the slope. The given slope is -34. We just have to look for the -34 number before the x. So mong the choices, it is the letter a choice that has the slope -34. So the answer is A.
