The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the line given by the equation \(3x + 4y - 7 = 0\), we will convert the equation into the slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) represents the slope. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: \[ 3x + 4y - 7 = 0 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation to isolate \(y\)**: \[ 4y = -3x + 7 \] Here, we moved \(3x\) and \(-7\) to the right side of the equation. 3. **Divide every term by 4 to solve for \(y\)**: \[ y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{7}{4} \] This step ensures that the coefficient of \(y\) is 1. 4. **Identify the slope**: In the equation \(y = mx + c\), the coefficient \(m\) is the slope. From our rearranged equation: \[ m = -\frac{3}{4} \] Thus, the slope of the line is \(-\frac{3}{4}\). ### Final Answer: The slope of the line is \(-\frac{3}{4}\).
