Transcript text: Step 1: Identify the slope & y-intercept of the line. What is the slope of this line?
\[
\mathrm{y}=-\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{x}+4
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To identify the slope of the line given in the equation \( y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 4 \), we need to recognize the standard form of a linear equation, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept. By comparing the given equation to the standard form, we can directly identify the slope.
Step 1: Identify the Slope
The given equation of the line is
\[
y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 4
\]
In this equation, the slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \). By comparing the equation to the standard form \( y = mx + b \), we find that
\[
m = -\frac{3}{2}
\]
Step 2: Convert the Slope to Decimal
To express the slope in decimal form, we calculate
