What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 7?

4
-4
7
-7

The correct answer is: 4

The slope of a line represents its steepness or rate of change. In this equation, the slope is represented by the coefficient of the x variable, which is 4. The slope of this line is positive because the coefficient is positive. Option B is incorrect because it has a negative coefficient, which would represent a line with a negative slope. Option C is the y-intercept of the line, not the slope. Option D is also incorrect as it has a negative coefficient, resulting in a negative slope. Therefore, option A is the only correct answer for this question.
