Since this equation is already in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the slope would be -1/4
Explanation:
Slope-intercept form is when an equation is in the form y=mx+b, where the slope is the coefficient of x (what's in front of the variable x). In this case, the number in front of x is -1/4.
As for the -3/4, that is just the y-intercept. This is supplementary information, but in y=mx+b, b represents the y-intercept (what number does the graph intersect the y-axis.)
