StartFraction 4 Over 5 EndFraction.
3

Answer 1

To determine the slope of the line given by the equation \( y = \frac{4}{5}x - 3 \), we can identify the slope directly from the equation.

In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, \( y = mx + b \), \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

In your equation:

- The coefficient of \( x \) (which is \( \frac{4}{5} \)) is the slope.
- The constant term (-3) is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the slope of the line is:

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

The correct answer is:

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