You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the formula y=mx+b where the m-term represents the value of the slope
.
1.
a. y = 7x
Slope = 7
.
b.y= -3x
Slope = m=-3
.
c. y= x
Slope=m=1
.
d. y= 1/2x
Slope=m=1/2

Identify the slope of each direct variation
The slope is the coefficient of x. (The number multiplied by x)
1.
a. y=highlight%287%29x The slope is 7.
b. y= -3x The slope is -3
c. y= x The slope is 1, because 1 times x is x
d. y= 1/2x The slope is 1/2
e. y= -1.4x The slope is -1.4
f. y= 2.673x The slope is 2.673
g. y= 3 2/3x The slope is 3 2/3
h. y= -8x The slope is -8
