You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
......
y+=+highlight_green%283%2F4%29x+-+highlight%283%29 Slope m = 3/4
Ans: y=3/4x-3,the slope is 3/4x. FALSE
......
-4x +8y=7
0r
y+=+highlight_green%281%2F2%29x+%2B+highlight%287%2F8%29 Slope m = 1/2
