Your slope is the numerical coefficient of #x#, in this case #3/4#.
This tells you that every time #x# increases of #1# then #y# increases of #3/4#.

  • We can find the Slope of a Line by expressing its equation in the Slope Intercept form .

  • The Slope Intercept Form of the equation of a given line is:
    #y = mx + c#
    where #m# is the Slope of that line, and #c# is the Y intercept

#y = 3/4 x - 2# is already in the Slope Intercept Form .

Hence the slope of the line with this equation will be #color(green)(3/4#
