Answer

Hence, A. The slope is \(\frac{3}{4}\). The \(y\)-intercept is -10.

Steps

Step 1 :The equation of a line can be written in the form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the \(y\)-intercept.

Step 2 :Given the equation \(y = \frac{3}{4}x - 10\), we can see that the slope \(m = \frac{3}{4}\) and the \(y\)-intercept \(b = -10\).

Step 3 :Hence, A. The slope is \(\frac{3}{4}\). The \(y\)-intercept is -10.
