Question 568796: What is the slope of each line that has the description given:
y = 3/4x + 7
2x + 4y = 8
5.1476x + 5.1476 = 15
y - 3 = 7/13 (x-4)
y - 7.3591 = 7/13 (x-4.0856)

is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form
That form starts with "y=", has the y-intercept for a constant/independent term, and has the slope for coefficient of the . The slope is in this case.

Solving for , we get the slope intercept form
--> --> --> --> -->
The slope is
I suspect a typo, but if it was really written like that, it is really
--> --> -->
Without doing that division we see that is constant, while could be anything. There is no slope. The slope is undefined, and the line is a vertical line.
is the equation in point-slope form of the line with slope that passes through the point (4,3).
is the equation in point-slope form of the line with slope that passes through the point (4.0856,7.3591).
